I just wrote a pitch to Michael Moore. It is safe to assume that many of you will agree with my decision to reach out to him - I think this story and your stories will interest him. But in order to really get his attention, I'm asking that each and every one of you write him a quick email (mike@michaelmoore.com). Let him know why this crisis ought to be discussed and covered in a documentary. Aaaaah, come on, I'm only askin' for another two minutes of your time. Plus, it's for our cause and it's patriotic!
Thanks again, everyone!
My email to Michael Moore (written Sept. 2, 2009 at 11:34 AM EST):
My name is Ms. C. Cryn Johannsen, and I am the promotional writer and marketer for Robert Applebaum's Forgive Student Loan Debt Movement.
If you are not familiar with this movement, I'll provide you a quick history.
Like many Americans, Robert, a NYC attorney, was frustrated by the bailout of the banks and all of Wall St. (the exact people who got us into trouble) in January. He decided to create a Facebook group and called it "Cancel Student Loan Debt to Stimulate the Economy." Robert had no idea that this group would end up becoming such a Facebook hit! As of September 2, 2009 at 10:36 PM (EST), we have a membership of 227, 547 individuals.
I think this story is something that might pique your interest.
It is clear that the student lending industry (mind you, the Department of Education and Universities are also culpable), are bilking students for all their worth. The scandals are so numerous, that one former Dept. of Ed. employee (who, mind you, had been nominated to work for them by Bush and is writing a book about this debacle) said, "Oh, there are too many scandals to count."
This man, Dr. Mark Schneider, is burned and seems hopeless about the situation. Even though we have significant political differences, one thing is clear: we both care about students and agree that the student lending industry is in shambles.
I would like to share more with you about my disturbing findings this crisis - very few Americans know that they are victims of a scandalous lending system. For the meantime, you can visit the following sites - if you're interested - to learn more about our movement. (I have a full-time job and am doing this work as a volunteer. It is a cause in which I believe, and I hope that you might be willing to speak to us about it).

Finally, are you aware that the student lending industry possesses the second strongest lobbying groups in D.C.?
I hope you reach out to us - we need to promote this critical problem.
As I say, America has created a new class - the indentured educated class. I believe that the middle class is an endangered species. (We can't even begin to discuss what this industry is doing to the lower-classes). I have reliable sources and hope that you'll talk to me about it.
Sincerely,
Ms. C. Cryn Johannsen
