Breaking: House Committee Votes to Eliminate Financial Aid Loss Penalty for Drug Possessors
Read about the partial repeal of Souder's law included in their student loans bill by the House Education and Labor Committee -- of which Souder is a member -- in Souder's hometown newspaper.
This is the third time Congress has moved to scale the law back -- the first two times Souder supported the changes, this time he didn't. Of course this is just one stage of the process, but leadership wouldn't have moved it forward if they didn't think they could make it stick.
We've been working on this issue since 1999 when the law first passed. Exciting times. The work will go on, or course, to fully repeal the law for everyone. Look for more news on this soon.
press conference we organized on this issue in 2002, for the
Coalition for Higher Education Act Reform, attended by ten
members of Congress

If I ran my business the way they run their business, my business would be forced into bankruptcy... ironically, by their business.
