This school year, Davis College Republicans are bringing top-flight speakers – from candidates to party leaders – to Davis to talk about the steps needed for victory in 2014.

We'll hand things over to the Gipper to introduce DCR's #Victory2014 Speaker Series.

Got a student loan? Thank Rep. Ami Bera for your new interest rate

The House of Representatives voted to stop Stafford subsidized student loan interest rates from doubling.

The bill (H.R. 1911) passed the House by a margin of 221-198.

During the 2012 campaign, Rep. Ami Bera regularly campaigned at UC Davis, even with former President Bill Clinton. 

Bera boasts on his Congressional website that he put himself through medical school on federally-subsidized student loans.

But when the House voted on stopping the doubling of interest rates for federally-subsidized student loans, Ami Bera voted 'no.'

It seems that, when he isn't the one paying off the loans, Rep. Bera doesn't care what the interest rate is.

And Rep. John Garamendi? He was too busy to vote.
