April 27, 2016

This afternoon, Speaker Ryan is holding a #RyanAtGU Town Hall about issues important to today’s young people. Considering the GOP’s agenda of inaction, it’s clear that this Republican-led Congress is not going to address the real problems facing millennials, like making college more affordable or reforming our broken campaign finance system. Join today’s #FutureForum Tweet Storm to debunk Speaker Ryan’s claims today, from 1:45 PM – 3:00 PM.

General Sample TWEETS:

Coalition of nearly 70 national medical & other organizations have written Congress in favor of #Zika supplemental → http://goo.gl/Jxwsh9

Unacceptable. For 65 days & counting @HouseGOP has refused to act on @POTUS' emergency supplemental request to protect Americans from #Zika.

RT if you agree: Congress must act! → @TIME: "The #Zika virus is continuing to spread around the globe, as health responders scramble..."

#DoYourJob, @HouseGOP. We must act to protect American families from the #Zika threat. Inaction on this issue is irrational & dangerous.

.@HouseGOP's<mailto:.@HouseGOP's> radical refusal to address the #Zika threat could have tragic consequences for Americans. RT if you agree: Congress must act!

#RyanAtGU TWITTER STORM:

Here's an idea @SpeakerRyan. How about a meaningful way to address higher ed debt, like allowing for refinancing of student loans? #RyanAtGU

#FutureForum has visited 14 cities in past year to hear #millennials’ concerns and ideas. Where do we send our notes, @SpeakerRyan? #RyanatGU

Young Americans want think-big/forward-looking policies, @SpeakerRyan - not endless attempts to roll back progress already made. #RyanatGU

.@HouseGOP's<mailto:.@HouseGOP's> #budget cuts student loan programs & Pell Grants, thereby adding to the already huge levels of student debt. #RyanAtGU

If @SpeakerRyan's so focused on promoting opportunity for young people, why has GOP failed on issues like college affordability? #RyanAtGU

Hope #RyanAtGU gets into substance w smart young people today. Perhaps address @HouseGOP's vote to cut Pell Grants → https://goo.gl/KrWsh2

.@SpeakerRyan<mailto:.@SpeakerRyan>, talk is cheap. #Millennials want less empty rhetoric & more meaningful action on college affordability.  #DoYourJob #RyanAtGU

FACT: @HouseGOP's #budget, overall cuts current policy support for student loans/college aid by $185 billion over 10 years. #RyanAtGU
