Sick of your student loans? …Robert Applebaum

1 Comment

Below is an email from Robert Applebaum, a MoveOn member who created a petition at SignOn.org that is getting a lot of attentionand may be of interest to you. If you have concerns or feedback about this petition, clickhere >>>  http://civic.moveon.org/signon_feedback/?id=31019-17809870-F5JLeRx&t=1

Dear MoveOn member,

Forgiving the student loan debt of all Americans will have an immediate stimulative effect on our economy.  With the strokeof the President’s pen, millions of Americans would suddenly have hundreds, or in some cases, thousands of extra dollarsin their pockets each and every month to spend on ailing sectors of the economy.

As consumer spending increases, businesses will begin to hire, jobs will be created, and a new era of innovation, entrepreneurship,and prosperity will be ushered in for all.  A rising tide does, in fact, lift all boats—forgiving student loan debt,rather than tax cuts for corporations, millionaires and billionaires, has a MUCH greater chance of helping to raise thattide in a MUCH shorter time-frame.

The future economic success of this country is wholly dependent upon a well-educated, prosperous middle class.  Instead ofsaddling entire generations with debt from which there is no escape, let’s empower the American people to grow this economyon their own!

That’s why I created a petition on SignOn.org, calling on President Obama and Congress to support legislation seeking studentloan forgiveness as a means of economic stimulus.

Will you sign the petition? Click here to add your name, and then pass it along to your friends:

Thanks!

Republicans say NO NO NO


Let me sum up this week for you:

President Obama: JOBS, JOBS, JOBS.
        The Republican Party: NO, NO, NO.

President Obama presented his plan. The only plan Republicans have put forward is to say no to President Obama and yes to big corporations calling the shots, undermining the social safety net we pay for with our taxes, and, if you get sick: you’re on your own. In short: their plan is an assault on our values.

Their vision is dangerous – and we’re in danger of it becoming reality if Republicans flip just FOUR Senate seats in 2012. We can’t let that happen.

        That’s why the DSCC needs your help to raise $585,000 before Sept. 30 so we can make sure Democrats don’t lose races that we can win. We literally can’t afford to fall short.

Please give $5, $10 or whatever you can give to the DSCC right now. The DSCC has only 10 days to raise $585,000 and fight the GOP’s assault on our values.

Rick Perry calls Social Security a “Ponzi scheme” and Mitt Romney compares it to a criminal enterprise. And now one GOP Congressman is complaining that President Obama’s plan would force him to live on just $400,000 a year.  Once again the GOP just doesn’t understand the challenges Americans are facing today.

2012 will decide whether we focus on creating jobs, like Democrats want, or protecting millionaires and big corporations, like Republicans demand. We can win.  But we need your help.

Please give $5, $10 or whatever you can give to the DSCC right now. The DSCC has only 10 days to raise $585,000 and fight the GOP’s assault on our values.

There are many reasons we’re Democrats. But perhaps one of the most important is this: We know that a strong middle class makes our country stronger.  Thanks for joining me to fight for what we believe in.

Sincerely,

Karen Finney
