Miller has increased your dependency in the federal government, like many others similar to yourself, so that you will continue to keep him in office. Be careful that you aren’t forsaking your liberties in exchange of that $1,000 tax credit.

Mr. Miller, like many others in Congress, need to take lessons from the lost Constitutional principles presented in the following short film:

In his capacity as former Chairmen of House Education Committe he got legislation passed that cut student loan interest rates dramatically. Banks had been gouging students on interest rates, Miller got this practice stopped. He also helped pass legislation that expanded opportunities for Pell Grants for many more famlies, which has been extremely helpful to the many displaced workers in this economy, workers that need to be retrained for jobs in other emerging industries. Thanks to Obama and Miller you now also have a $1,000 tax credit now – not a deduction – for students and thier parents that can help defray college expenses as well. George Miller has been a great friend to college students, the parents of college students, and an equally great friend to displaced workers who need retraining. He understands, as do many, dollars invested in higher education – money that improves the skills and knowledge of US workers, pays huge dividends for the US economy in the long run. As a society we need to put people to work, we need to keep people working – higher education is the way to do this. What we have to “sell” in the US is knowledge, that’s the key to the future. In assessing the impact of Miller’s campaign contributions, I think voters should keep in mind the incredible work Miller has done on behalf of college students, he set out to make college more affordable for working famlies – that was one of his goals as a Congressman, and he has delivered.
