Check out who voted to table Dream. Virtually all Senate Democrats did, except Feingold, Menendez, Merkley and Pryor. The first three of these four solidly support Dream so do not be concerned that they did not vote to table it (they may have had other strategic reasons for doing so). In fact, even Pryor believes that it is appropriate to make military service a path to citizenship.

The significance of this may be that in virtually unanimously voting to table Dream, the Senate Democrats have signaled that there is a semblance of respect for the integrity of the political process (otherwise certain Dream opponents could have squashed Dream then and there). Therefore, maybe we should be trying to convince the Senate Democrats who oppose Dream to muster up the integrity to vote for cloture, and allow government to do the people's work (as it is intended) by permitting Dream to come to a vote. This should not be a politically risky vote for those Senators since they can still show their constituents that they oppose Dream when it comes to a final vote.

I follow your logic, Dreamers when making your calls ask for below Senate Democrats to: vote for Clouture on the Dream Act.
