Did you know...

-That the United States will pay $846.1 Billion in defense related spending in 2015?

-The US spends more on defense than China, Russia, The UK, Japan, France, Saudi Arabia, India, Germany, Brazil, and Italy combined?

-The US could reduce its nuclear arsenal, without diminishing national security?

-It would only cost $60-70 Billion to fully fund public college tuition?

-The United States already spends more than that in financial aid, Tax breaks, and student loans?

-Student debt currently stands at $1.2 Trillion?


You should sign the petition if...

-You think that our government has its priorities backwards?

-You think that we should invest our tax dollars in our people instead of our ability to wage war?

-You think student debt is getting out of control?

-You believe that constant war needs to start becoming a thing of the past?


Please sign the petition and spread the word.

Together we can make the world how we want it to be!

Education should be a right not a debt sentence. Take some cash from the defense budget and fix this mess.

I cant even pay my loans back because the interest is such a scam. Stop blowing up other countries and help us out here at home!

Exactly. Why are we paying for fancy weapons when people are struggling to afford school. Makes no sense.

Ridiculous that we spend so much on bombs while kids are drowning in debt to get a basic degree. Priorities are totally backwards.
