At the end of this week, or early next week, the U.S. Senate committee that handles education is considering repealing or scaling back the law that strips financial aid from college students with drug convictions.
SSDP’ers have been on top of this and the prospects for reform look very good. They also report “that the most effective thing we can do to help is to generate phone calls and e-mails from constituents.”
So let’s go.
