Thousands of residents are rallying to save hundreds of jobs as Sallie Mae fights against proposed legislation. Now 23 thousand signatures back their initiative.
“Thousands of other concerned citizens want Washington to understand the economic impact of these jobs,” said Sallie Mae Senior Vice President Renee Meng.
The Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act would eliminate Federal Family Education Loans (FFEL) and shift them over to direct loans through the Department of Education. That would end student loans that go through private industries like Sallie Mae, and could impact a third of their operations.
“The message has been simple. Protect Florida jobs and the value of services we provide to millions of families reaching for that dream of higher education,” said Meng. She personally delivered the petitions to Senator Nelson Tuesday, and sent copies to Senator LeMieux. A rally revealing their shattered signature goal brought out hundreds in support.
“We’re going to continue to walk the streets and we’re going to make sure that your job is protected,” said Lynn Haven Mayor Walter Kelley, “and we’re going to bring other jobs to Bay County.”
“What good does it do to educate our children if they don’t have jobs?” said Bay District Superintendent Bill Husfelt.
While education leaders are expressing their support for Sallie Mae, some area students say the loan system could use a change.
“It would possibly regulate them in a more firm way but I’m not sure it would drive them down,” said Brian Page, “I would like to hope so though, that would be great.”
“It helps keeps us from having to pay back so much money that we really can’t afford to pay,” said Gulf Coast Community College student Sylvia Robinson.
“We believe congress can achieve the President’s objectives of making college more affordable,” said Meng, “while achieiving the same budgetary savings and preserving your jobs here in Bay County.”
Sallie Mae is one of 30 agencies supporting an alternative proposal that would reform loans but keep private industries in the picture. Senators will start discussing the bill as early as next week.
I’m disappointed to see WMBB had to publish people’s IP Address. I don’t remember in the terms of use policy it saying anything about publishing one’s private IP address.
However I am glad to see that it proves I didn’t steal oneforchange screen name.
Let’s get back to what this is all about and that is saving jobs in our community and across the USA.

Now lets see what does all three of these user id’s and email addresses have in common???
how about that 62, is that a hint you were born in 1962??
One thing is for sure, they are all the same person, and they are both fake.
Even I noticed the differences in protectfloridajobs.com. and Oneforchange, so what makes you think everyone else won’t notice??
It’s obvious the “O” is different, it doesn’t take a genius to figure that out.
Quit wasting your time trying to fool people and get a job.
Everyone knows these three are the fake user id’s it is so obvious just by looking at the 3 email addresses. You are the Fake not me. I have no need to steal anything from you.

More payoffs, how shocking, LOL!!
For years, Sallie Mae had tilted its political contributions and lobbying efforts toward Republicans. According to a recent report published by the Center for Responsive Politics, “Since 1989, political action committees and employees affiliated with Sallie Mae have poured $6.3 million into the war chests of federal candidates and party committees.” More than 60 percent of these contributions have gone to Republicans, with the largest recipients by far being Reps. John Boehner of Ohio and Howard P. (Buck) McKeon, both of whom led a key House committee in charge of student loan policy. Meanwhile, Sallie Mae also contributed $250,000 to President Bush’s 2005 inaugural committee, the report states. But as soon as Democrats won control of Congress in 2006, the company realized that it had to reverse course. As we’ve previously reported, Sallie Mae outlined its plans to “grow” a “pro-FFELP coalition within the Democratic party.

Oh so your identity was stolen, is that why you created a new email address that just happens to be just like the one hr3221 has??
Is that why you said before that I stole your identity?
Wow that is quite a few conincidences don’t you think. Lets look at this one more time and see if we can figure out what happen.

Come on now is that the best you can do??
All people have to do is look at the user screen name and they will notice it’s not me because I do not have a “.” at the end of my screen name unlike the one you created to try and convince people it is me. You really are stupid!!
MAKE SURE YOU CHECK FOR THE “.” AT THE END OF THE USER ID AND IF IT HAS A “.” THEN IT IS NOT THE REAL protectfloridajobs.com
I am sorry that I was trying to support a company that is clearly out for themselves as I see that now as what they have done to me, I was blinded by the Sallie Mae Fog that clouded my vision as what is best for the country, so please vote Yes on H.R. 3221. Thanks for your support.
Please disregard the previous comment as I had to change my profile name from protectfloridajobs.com to protectfloridajobs.com. as my identity was stolen I am the real protectfloridajobs.com sorry for the confusion.
There is no need to apologize to me, I was 100% in the wrong for wanting people to lose their jobs. That was wrong of me and I’m getting my life back on track and putting that hate behind me. supporthr3321, I suggest you do the same thing. The hate will eat you up inside, I know because it drove me to do things I thought I would never do. I’m trying to make a mends for the things I said and wish all the employees at Salliemae all the best.
It’s about Jobs supporthr3221, not Salliemae, it’s about all the people that will lose their jobs and that just isn’t right.

No one stole my identity, I am the one and only oneforchange. I made a mistake hating the good people that work for Salliemae and I want to apologize to everyone of them.
After leaving Salliemae I developed a drinking problem which lead to alot of the comments I made. I’m going to AA now and trying to get my life back together. I hope everyone can forgive me and I hope the person claiming to be me will leave me and everyone else here alone. All that hate is not good for you, trust me I know and I want go down that road again.
I AM ONEFORCHANGE AND I AM SORRY FOR ALL THE HURT I’VE CAUSED.
Oh if I am a fake how am I replying to your lies??
protectfloridajobs.com is obsessed with STUPIDITY AND DENIAL.

There are millions of people out of work for various reasons. Sometimes we have to go thru hard times to make things change.
