(NEW)  Thank you for voting against a rise in Federal student loan rates. Low interest rate loans will allow many college students--including my nephews-- to complete school. You are making a difference in the lives of many families. Thank you.

Wow! First the Affordable Health Care Act is upheld, then the student loans rates are kept from doubling. This is BIG! Thank you for the parts you played in making these things happen. I don't have an outstanding loan myself, but this makes me happy for the many people who are already burdened with a lifetime of student loan debt.

Thank you SOOO much for voting to keep the interest rates down on school loans! I am a student and so is my wife. This is one of the most intelligent things I've seen Congress do in a while to help our economy. Education should always be put first to encourage a good economy. Smart people get good jobs which pay good money which means higher income which means more income tax. Thank you again!!!

I was fortunate to have gotten grants & decent student loans. It took me many years to pay them off. But as a single mother raising two sons I felt blessed to be able to educate myself & consequently earn an education which enabled me to become self supporting. I was saddened & shocked to see good programs taken over by banks. That should never have happened. As a country we need to have educational choices available to have a vibrant educated population. If anything we ought to have greater choices for our people so we can remain competitive in the world, so our people remain vibrant, healthy & productive earners. I am amazed our young people have been taken wrong advantage of, used, for greed. Thank you again for your incredible service to our state & country.

There are NOT many things you and I agree on. I do believe that a college education is very important, although many college attendees should not be in school due to lack of aptitude for higher education.The ones that are able to handle the rigors of college should be assisted in any way possible.School loans can be a big burden for a graduate and should not hamper a graduate for so many years.Keeping the loan percentage at the lower end of the spectrum will undoubtedly assist many students and college graduates.Having been in that boat, let me tell you, Barbara Boxer,everything helps!

I cannot thank you enough for fighting to keep loan costs down. Doing so not only helps individual students and families, it also bolsters our colleges. I think it is time to demand the wealthiest Americans and corporations to pay their fair share for the underlying structures that support their ability to be wealthy. Without a well-educated populace with good paying jobs, who would buy their goods and who would create their products? Why don't they see that they have more than enough while good people everywhere are struggling?

Thanks for helping the student & their family in continuation of their dream by helping with passing loan interest from jumping to 6.8%.

Thank you for your hard work and especially for keeping the interest rate from doubling on student loans. The other bill that we are very happy to see is that of helping homeowners to refinance. We have watched many of our honest, hardworking friends lose their homes due to outright fraud by the banks and the courts have stood by and done nothing to prevent this. I hope that this bill will help people to keep their homes and not be ruined by the banks. Thank you again for your work.
