SGA Elections: Calvin Tran/Rachel Katzenberger AMA Since all politics is local, the UMBC College Democrats is committed to promoting civic engagement on campus. We offered to set up AMA pages for all six SGA presidential tickets (if they wished), so that the voting body can meet and engage with their potential leaders. (Recent changes on myUMBC make it difficult for individuals to post pages apart from a club/group.)

This page is for Calvin Tran, candidate for SGA president, and Rachel Katzenberger, candidate for SGA vice president. Ask them anything in the comments.

Okay, maybe this isn't the most appropriate picture, but you try finding a picture of John Boehner buying a textbook.

If you haven't already heard, Republicans in Congress are proposing dramatic cuts to the nation's budget.  One of their proposed cuts would include reducing Pell Grants by $845 per student.  This is about the annual cost of textbooks for an average college student.

In order to combat the GOP's plans, students from all over the country are being encouraged to Bill Your Books to Boehner.  So, we're encouraging you to do the same.

Send copies of your receipts to:

Speaker John Boehner
H-232 The Capitol
Washington, DC 20515

Include a message with:

What $845 means to you:
