Just a few months ago, young voters
came out in force and helped elect a new Congress. Now, we deserve the
attention of this new Congress on one of the biggest issues we face: the rising
cost of higher education.

Although college costs are spiking every year, the last Congress pushed through
massive cuts in student aid.

We’re lobbying now to call on the new Congress to make good on its promise to
help students and young people. Nancy Pelosi is organizing an agenda for the
first one hundred hours of new Congressional leadership. Legislation to make
college more affordable should be included in that agenda. We helped to put
these new lawmakers in office, and it's time for them to promote opportunity
for us all by making college more affordable!

On January 11th, 2007, our national coalition will hold a press event and lobby
Congress at the Capitol in DC, while people across the country call on their
representatives to make college affordable now.

Join us by telling your representative to cut the interest rates on student
loans in half now as a first step towards making college affordable.
