There are plenty of websites all around that show you various steps on how to take action to help pass the Dream Act.

I'd say keep calling and sending crap to your senators, representatives, hell, even the damn President! (if you can find a way to do that, please let me know LoL)

If you're still in High School, there are ways to start clubs and raise awareness, let people know about it, specially if you can get more and more people to sign the petition at http://dreamact2009.com/

There ARE things we can do, of course.
But since we can't do as much as we wish we could, what's left for us to do is think positive, dream, and hope.
Besides, positive thinking DOES get you somewhere! When you get discouraged, sad, depressed, or pessimistic, you send bad energy out to the universe, and that actually blocks the path to the things you want in life.
If you think you're not gonna get something, you're really not gonna get it.
Positive thinking is MAJORLY important, because with more good energy, the better chances we'll have! It'll also keep you out of your misery and depression, so good for you too.
Don't lose your positive thinking!
