Forget politics. It’s too complicated. You say you’re too busy to vote.
But don’t forget your friends. Your high school buddies at other colleges, your friends down the hall here at PSU, your little sister who hopes to follow you to college. Don’t forget them. They all need Federal Pell Grants.
You say you’re not involved in politics. You don’t waste time learning about the issues. But do vote!
This election is simple: the Republicans (Romney and Ryan) will kill Federal Pell Grants. The Democrats (Obama and Biden) will save Federal Pell Grants.
If you want Pell grants for College loans to continue for your friends, for your family, vote for Obama on Tuesday, November 6.
Forget politics (at your peril!). But don’t forget to vote.
