 Quote of the Day

"The story of America is a story of progress -- and it's often written by people who come here with a vision for what's possible, and are willing to take risks and aspire to something bigger than what they've already known."

 Question of the Week

http://click.mail.whitehouse.gov/?qs=85caa868858ee049ee4fc12319c971823c6e01a931f1e98305fc7bd33017535d316abbf33986b422 
Why should more Americans have access to community college? 

Earlier this year, the President laid out a proposal to make community college free for responsible students for two years.

In our growing global economy, Americans need to have more knowledge and more skills to compete -- by 2020, an estimated 35 percent of job openings will require at least a bachelor's degree, and 30 percent will require some college or an associate's degree. Students should be able to get the knowledge and the skills they need without taking on decades' worth of student debt.

Do you agree with the President? If so, tell us why you think more Americans should have access to community college.
