Last week, 2,400 of you stood up for college affordability on the December 1st Day of Action. Let’s do it again as Congress enters the final negotiations on Pell Grants and the American Opportunity Tax Credit.
Visit the following Congress member’s Facebook or Twitter pages and let them know we need to keep college affordable. These members will be key players in the negotiations.
- Senator Jon Kyl – You should post in the comment section for his video from “Face The Nation”
- Senator Harry Reid – You can tweet about affordable higher education.
- Senator Max Baucus – You can email his office.
- Senator Dick Durbin – You can write on his Facebook wall.
- Representative Dave Camp – You can either write on his Facebook wall or tweet.
- Representative Chris Van Hollen – You can write on his Facebook wall.
Remember, in order to post on a Facebook page, you have to “like” the page first. To send a message on Twitter, simply address him in your tweets using “@“.
Not sure about what to say? Here are some sample messages:
- Keep higher education affordable! Support AOTC and Pell Grants!

Let’s make sure that our voices are heard.
