Hopefully we can make in to 60. That's the magic number, right?

LOL, 60 co sponsors will never happen.

i dunno... only 21 away : )

I hope you're not kidding here, because it needs 40 co-sponsors for it to be introduced to the floor. Can you check the list and make sure Kennedy is not on there. If it really does have 39 co-sponsors, do you know how close we are to have it introduced?????????? AHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think I'm going crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sen Kennedy, Edward M. [MA] - 3/26/2009

He's on the list.

Really? Only 40?

well we have 37 then. 3 away from being introduced which by the way I didn't know that we needed 40 to be introduced on the floor. how is that? in 07 we did not have 40 and it was still introduced wasn't it?

oh man. i really hated goverment (politics) up til now. Now I find myself wanting to learn more about it. I need to read a 'gverment for dummies' type of book. LOL

The DREAM Act has already been introduced "on the floor." There is no such parliamentary rule or custom where 40 c0sponsors are needed to introduce a bill on the floor; some bills are introduced with none. Even if you're referring simply to bringing the bill up for a vote, there is no 40 cosponsor threshold.

The most cosponsors DREAM has ever had was 47 in the 108th Congress (January '03-January '05). DREAM was passed in committee that session, but it was never brought before the full Senate.

Really?
