Check out this March 12th blog post - Pelosi And Miller Affirm That Student Loan Overhaul Will Be Included In Health Care Package.

BINGO!

But the bill still needs to pass the US House of Representatives, and student student aid reform language has yet to be introduced in the Senate. So keep those letters coming! Send your Senators a letter supporting student aid reform!


I'm on a youth conference call with the White House on health care reform and was just informed that minutes ago, the White House publicly announced that President Obama will be speaking on Friday at George Mason Patriot Center about health care. Event is open to the public - first come, first served. Doors open at 9am, event begins at 11:30am. Details - including a link to the Facebook event - here on the White House website.


Another upcoming event - the 41st Annual Grassroots Legislative Conference and National Student Lobby Day in Washington, DC, March 20-23rd.
