SSDP's lawsuit gets more coverage

The UCLA Daily Bruin covered SSDP's lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Education.

Erik Cooke, an SSDP legislative director, said a state-by-state analysis of the impact of the Drug Provision is vital to inform legislators of the law's effect on constituents and for them to start paying a more particular interest in it.

"When we're in a meeting with legislators, they want to know how this is going to affect their constituents. By withholding this information, it is bad for our advocacy efforts to inform Congress. It limits Congress's ability to quantify how the law affects citizens across the country," Cooke said.

Makes you wonder what the federal government's true motivation for preventing SSDP from getting our hands on this information really is, doesn't it?
