Allow Students to Recieve Government Help
Published by Shannon on May 10, 2011
Target: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
Region: United States of America
Background (Preamble):
Right now, full time students are unable to get government assistance such as food stamps unless working so many hours a week, which is very difficult to do if you are studying all the time or if you have dependants.
What is worse is that when we college students graduate, we will be expected to pay taxes to the very government that refused to help us.
We are trying to better ourselves so that we won't need food stamps in the future.

Petition:
"We, the undersigned, call on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and the U.S. government to allow students to apply for government benefits without having the restrictions that those who have no job, nor are attending school do not have."
