Petition to Protect Florida Jobs!

Whereas, unemployment in Bay County in June 2009 was 10.7 percent, and unemployment statewide was 10.8 percent; and,

Whereas, student loan providers employ hundreds of residents of Florida; and,

Whereas, student loan providers and their employees have been strong supporters of community-based organizations in Florida; and,

Whereas, proposals in Washington, D.C. to restructure federal student loan programs could result in the needless elimination of jobs in Florida.

We, the undersigned residents of Florida urge Members of our Congressional delegation to fight to protect good, family-supporting student loan industry jobs in our communities and options for students, while restructuring federal student loan programs and investing savings in need-based college financial aid.
