I posed the SAME question to people here not so long ago, and basically got this response "good for you for doing something, but we have lives".

I am pretty sure those senators get lots of calls...they learn to be oblivious to it.

Recently realized that if and when the Dream Act passes is in direct proportion to the amount of work we put into it. That said either all of us or none of us will benefit from it. The only difference is the people, or lack thereof that do the work. How bad do we really want this if we aren't willing to work for it? I'm doing my part by sending out letters. It's quite simple. You write a letter, print it out tons of times and send it out to as many senators as stamps you plan on buying. Then you email, call and tell everyone you know to support your efforts. If you can't do any of this then pray. Hope to not offend anyone by saying this but if you pray with all your heart God will listen. Pray for our senators that don't support the bill as well as those that do. From what I understand, correct me if I'm wrong but the bill was really close to being passed. That extra push is all we really need and either we try really hard or give up. It's your choice, our future.

Same here bro. There's not much I can do, but i do like to spread knowledge of our situation and debate the issue with the opposition in discussion forums or websites such as yahoo answers. And I know a lot of people do read it.. some agree, while some don't.

We got the upper hand of the debate here, and it is easy for me to counter any ignorant comment regarding the Dream Act. Sometimes it's funny what people will come up with just to gain the upper hand. But yeah if I could do more to help gain support I definitely would.
