Stop Predatory Student Loans: Support SLFLA.ORG

Donation protected
SLFLA.ORG stands for the Student Loan Fairness in Lending Act of 2025. The Bill can be read on our website at: SLFLA.ORG. This group was organized to get a BILL passed in the U.S. Congress to stop the predatory, vile, deceptive people on Wall Street from enslaving the youth of America (and their parents as co-signers) with high-interest, long-term student loans. Loan rates used to be 2-3%. The average rate today on a school loan is 6.87% but goes as high as 18% with many private lenders and to 20% if payments are missed. With rates this high on tens of thousands of dollars, compounding over 20 to 30 years, many people spend the rest of their lives trying to pay these loans off. It can make their lives a living hell, filled with unnecessary worry, stress, and depression ~ just so these heartless people on Wall Street can make more money. What is happening today has been thought out in board rooms for years with malice aforethought. What they are doing is CRIMINAL ~ a conspiracy to defraud both the youth of our nation and their parents. It is GRAND THEFT ON A MASSIVE SCALE. We want to stop it ~ but we need YOUR HELP to do it!!!

We would ask you to do THREE SIMPLE THINGS TO HELP US.

1. Share the Bill with your Reps and Senators. Please read the bill on our website (the link to our website here: SLFLA.ORG) then send a copy to your elected Representative in the U.S. House of Representatives and to each of your U.S. Senators. Feel free to send it to your state reps also. Below are the links to both the House and Senate where you can find who your reps/senators are and their contact info including phone numbers. We can't do it online because we don't live in their districts. We are asking you to call their state or D.C. offices, then send it in a message via email that you can get from the assistant when you call, if they don’t already have a copy. We want you to then ask each of them to sponsor and pass the bill so it can become the LAW OF THE LAND. But understand that in many cases, these members of Congress are the ones who voted to make the laws the way they are now, (and they are being paid to keep them the way they are) so we need a lot of people calling and sending emails.

2. Share this webpage and our website on every social media site you are on. Simply by clicking on the links below (or on the links on our webpage) this page will be shared to the social media site in seconds. Then please send it directly to at least two (2) of your friends and family members (five (5) would help even better) because the BILLIONAIRE OWNERS of the social media sites will block people from seeing this as much as they can, because they are in bed with Wall Street and want us paying as much for advertising as possible ~ but it is much harder to stop you from sending it directly to your friends and family.

3. Sign our Petition. Our goal is to get a MILLION SIGNATURES we can take to Congress to force them to pass this bill. Then please DONATE what you can. We want to ADVERTISE this bill everywhere, so tens of millions of people will see this. But we need your help to do that. Advertising costs money.

If you can donate a dollar or two, every little bit helps. If you can donate more, of course that will help more. If you are not in a position to donate, we understand and would simply ask you to share this bill with as many of your friends and family as you can.

WITH YOUR HELP, this could go quickly go VIRAL, and we could get a MILLION SIGNATURES in a couple of days. With your donations, TENS OF MILLIONS MORE PEOPLE could see the bill every day.

JOIN US AND TOGETHER LET'S MAKE A COUNTRY WE CAN ALL BE PROUD OF AGAIN. ONE THAT WORKS FOR EVERYONE. ESPECIALLY OUR CHILDREN!

Over the past 20 years, Wall Street funds such as Blackstone, which is the largest owner of student housing in the country, have bought up most of the student housing and have tripled and quadrupled those rents. The Boards of Regents in every state and the Administrators at our colleges have been convinced (most likely bribed) to raise college tuition by circa 5% a year for the past 20. Those costs are now 10 to 20 times higher. What used to cost $2,000 to $3,000 a year for tuition, books, and living expenses now costs tens of thousands of dollars.

What's even more sickening is when these young hopeful kids go to these colleges to register for school, they are taken into back rooms and encouraged to take out tens of thousands in student loans by representatives of these lenders without having any idea what they are getting themselves into, or what it will mean for the rest of their lives. What kind of people would do this to kids?

This is NOT the type of country we want to live in or leave to our children. If you agree, please join us. Working together, we can stop this. But we can’t do it without YOU!
