President Obama to Participate in Televised Town Hall on Education
 
Quote:
As part of his ongoing effort to improve education for all Americans, President Obama will participate in a Univision-hosted town hall with students, parents and teachers on March 28 to discuss education and Hispanic educational attainment. The town hall is part of Univision's "Es el Momento" (The Moment is Now) initiative focused on creating a college-bound culture in the Hispanic community.

Do you have questions about better preparing students for college and 21st century careers? Or thoughts on how to increase parental enagement in education? Now's your chance. In advance of the town hall, you're invited to submit education-related questions here. Questions must be submitted by Sunday, March 27.

Then tune in to watch a live video stream from the event in either English or Spanish at EsElMomento.com, starting at 7:00 PM EDT on Monday, March 28.

This is the main reason the Dream Act doesn't pass. The negativeness around us is high, I mean, this guy is asking something that can't be done. The town hall itself is just a conversation, he can't pass any laws while in there. To be able to win at something, we must be able to keep our positive attitude and perform action.

I Wonder if we could ask him to give us a time line for CIR or DA?????

Maybey we could could ask him to have his administration write an immigration bill and give it to congress for Debate and passage!!!!

Seriously. If Obama just came out and said, "Look, I can't pass this thing. I'm sorry." Then i would respect his honesty and I would leave here in a heartbeat and start my life somewhere else.
I know this is going to sound bad, but maybe it would've been better if an anti immigrant president was elected during 2008. At least it would've made our decisions easier.
It's difficult as it is, living the way we do. It just makes it worse when there is no time line.

I am sure he is going to say something like, "It is heart breaking to see these young talents suffer. I am going to talk to some of my republican fellow and I am going to bring republican and democratic together and blah blah blah."

Welcome to politics, kids. If you don't like how the government is run and how it works, then too bad thats your option. If we are going to win at this, we must ACT. Now, send the president a question related to the roots of the Dream Act, hell, I even asked him for student visas for us just to make a point.
