| Stop The Student Loan Interest Rate Hike Act Of 2012—Motion To Proceed |

"Mr. President, I rise today to join my colleagues in calling for a real solution to the impending student debt crisis. Yesterday we had a chance to do the right thing and stand with millions of young Americans all across our country, to invest in their future by preventing these interest rates from doubling on Stafford loans 52 days from now. Instead, our colleagues across the aisle chose to stand in the way of a commonsense proposal. As a result, 7 million students are facing higher interest rates that will cost them each an extra $1,000 a year in interest, further pushing access to quality higher education out of reach for too many and saddling others with additional unmanageable debt when they get out of college and join the workforce."

"Mr. President, I rise to join a strong and growing group of my colleagues in support of the Violence Against Women Act, a commonsense bill that since it was first signed into law has always been an issue we could build a consensus around, both Democrats and Republicans alike. The reason for this is quite simple."
