Democractic Party Platform: Higher Education
In the document of the Democratic Party platform, the topic I choose was higher education. The reason I choose that was because as a college student, I feel that it is important to see what a candidate is going to for me to get through college. As I read about the higher learning section in the document I felt that the democrats hit the hammer on the nail. It quotes " We will make college affordable for all Americans by creating a new American Opportunity Tax Credit to ensure that the first $4,000 of a colleg education is completely free for most American". I think that would be wonderful because with me coming from a single parent home and education is already to expensive on my mother, this would give her the break she need. Especially with my brother. Hopefully they keep to there word because it would help a lot of Americans out if they have kids in/ getting ready to go in college.

What do the Republicans say they will do about education? Did the Democrats have anything in their platform Obama's idea that the government would fund a person's higher education if the person agrteed to devote one year to community service after graduating?
Do you think education is an issue many people will be caring about this election?
