Dear Friend,
I want to highlight my recent efforts to push for comprehensive immigration reform and suggestions on how you can get help with your student loans.
Immigration Reform
Last week I was so honored to speak at an immigration rally. America is a nation of immigrants. Today, over 11 million people are living in the shadows, without documentation or official status. We need comprehensive immigration reform that is humane, focused on keeping families together, and gives men, women and children the opportunity to pursue their American dreams.
Student Loans
If Congress doesn't act by July 1st, student loan interest rates will double, making college less affordable for millions of American students. I am committed to keep fighting on the side of students. We must keep college affordable and not burden students and their families with higher interest payments on their loans.
BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
Already Obamacare is helping small businesses grow and save. Businesses with less than 25 full-time employees qualify for a tax credit up to 35% of premium costs. Over 2 million employees at small businesses have already received an average tax credit of $1,400. For more information visit here.
Sincerely,
Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky
Member of Congress
