Last week, we asked you to tell us why you support the middle class and President Obama's vision for the economy -- one where America works best when it grows from the middle out, not the top down.

We've heard from tens of thousands of you, including Lori from Oak Park Heights, Minnesota:

"Every American should have access to education, reasonable cost health care, security after working a lifetime, having a job that helps create a better country and earns a living for a family. No one in this country should have to struggle for food, or a clean and decent place to live."

Will you join thousands of Americans like Lori and make your voice heard?

This week, the Vice President and Dr. Biden wrapped up a trip to India and Singapore, the President announced a bargain for middle class jobs, welcomed the Huskies and the Giants, the American Legion, Girls & Boys Nation, the President of Yemen, and civil rights leaders to the White House, and marked the 60th anniversary of the Korean War Armistice.

This week, Valerie Jarrett joined eleven Champions of Change at the White House to honor their achievements toward making science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) industries more inclusive for underrepresented communities. She describes the amazing group of ordinary citizens and explains how President Obama is encouraging many young people to pursue STEM educations.

Based on our many conversations with leaders of our nation’s businesses, large and small, we launched Business.USA.gov/healthcare, a one-stop-shop where employers of all sizes can go for information on the Affordable Care Act.
