We, the citizens of the United States of America, respectfully ask that:

1. There would be NO INTEREST on loans taken out for college/university level school/education.
2. This is not a request to back pay interest on paid loan money. This is a request to please put a halt on charging interest on present school/student loans and future school/student loans.

This petition includes the following citizens who have a concern with paying interest on school loans:

1. Professionals who have graduated and are still paying on school loans
2. Students who are currently in college and have student loans
3. Parents who have children who are currently in college with school loans or have graduated and they are paying off the childs school/student loans.

    • My original loan amount(s) were for $81,000. If I follow the consolidation company's payment plan, I will pay $50,000 in INTEREST ALONE (over HALF of the original school loan amount!)

    • I have loans on my degree, my wife's degree, and both of my children's college education. In addition both of my children have their own loans. It would be much easier to pay them off if their was no interest accumulating. My daughter is in college at the present time with no income. Her loans are deferred but accruing interest.
