Action: Repeal Drug Provisions...
...of the Higher Education Act that withhold Federal Student Aid from college students who have been convicted of even minor drug "crimes."
Anyone who has filled out a FAFSA recently knows what this is about - it is the little box you check off indicating whether or not you have ever been convicted of a drug "crime." If your a person who has to check that box, well, bend the fuck over and get out the vaseline, because you won't be getting any federal assistance in paying your skyrocketing college tuition.
Repealing this law is so common sense that further explanation isn't really necessary. Click Here to sign a petition being circulated by the NAACP and ACLU.
