"In an e-mail message titled 'Students Deserve Better,' the Democratic National Committee is asking college students who backed Barack Obama in the 2008 election to send letters to Congress in support of his plan to end the bank-based guaranteed-loan program," The Chronicle of Higher Education reports. "'You know how important financial assistance is for students across America who dream of a brighter future,' the message says. 'That's why we need your help to fix a broken system.' It continues, 'The special interests - bankers, lenders, and their lobbyists - are lining up against this plan. ... Stand with the president now.'"
