Vote! And Get Involved! No Vote+No Involvement=No Debt Relief
Voting this year is more crucial than ever this year, and grassroots efforts fortunately are more vital than they have been in decades.
If you aren't already registered, here's a link to help you to register
at Working for Change.
If you BELIEVE you're registered, you should check. Last presidential election, many would be voters -- not only in Florida but in other states as well -- were turned away because they hadn't voted in previous elections and their registrations had expired. To check, call your town's Registrar of Voters at City/Town Hall.
Likewise, the best way to influence a candidate is from the inside. Whether you're Democrat or Republican, volunteering in a national, state or local race can give you access to candidates and you can influence their agenda. So as you do, don't hesitate to mention your debt and the relief you need ... and, oh yeah, GenDebt.org.
We will not only need the next President behind student loan aid reform. We need Senators and members of Congress behind it. And they talk to the elected representatives in their home states. In other words, you can choose where you want to have your impact felt, and it can still make a difference to this cause.
