I'm talking to all DREAMers, me included.
Every single one of you who is angry and insulting. You who express annoyance and anger.
Have you thought about how others perceive you?
People want to help us, but they look at how we behave. Will they feel like helping angry and bitter people? Who wants to help miserable whiners, bitchers and moaners?
We have a right to complain. We have been dealt a bad hand. We have been cheated by the system. Fate has stolen from us and we have a right to be angry.
But put yourself in the shoes of the people who want to help you. Imagine yourself in their position viewing you. As a politician looking at how DREAMers act, would you want to help them? Or would you get turned off by their behavior?
With all the shit some of us are talking about Obama, the democrats, even the republicans, can you imagine talking shit to their face and then asking them to vote to pass the DREAM Act?
Impossible.
Learn what works.
