This is a place for Nerdfighters to discuss their political positions whatever they may be. Please keep discussion civil and no trollin. I believe that in order for our representatives to do their job they need to hear what we think and feel about different topics. Out of that I created this group so that people can come consult with others to form their opinions.

The group has not taken a position on any bills.

      I have heard that the trans pacific partnership agreement as it exists now is secret and only a draft has been leaked to the public. I have also heard that it would do things similar to SOPA and all that. Sxephil has done an episode on it. check it out. I don’t know if its actually a bill or not but I found this.

      As a student this is extremely relevant to my future. It was pointed out in the bill that student loans inhibit graduates from starting their own businesses and contributing to the economy, and so naturally I like the idea of student loan forgiveness.

      However, a user also pointed out that the 10 year minimum wait time is rather useless, because by that point the graduate will have already paid off most of their debt.

      Also, and I could be wrong, aren’t there already programs in place to help lower payments on student loans?

    Looking forward to using this site to become more active in the government! Great idea to make a nerdfighter group. (Saw about this on the Ning.)
