New member, but not new to the site =)

Hey everyone,
First of all, I’d just like to say that everyone’s passion, determination, and participation are very admirable. I’m just like every one of you, for the most part. We have similar struggles and the same aspirations. I go to college and I will graduate in a year. I pushed my graduation one year hoping DREAM will pass by then. I’m not new to this site because I used to come here when I felt down and alone. When I do go on this site my spirits lift and my hope gets stronger. I decided to join because my few calls a day to Senators won’t make as much of a difference than joining the mass calls/mass mailing will. I think the “target one Senator a week” and the “8000 postcards” are great ideas and I would love to participate.

I also have a few questions on the DREAM ACT that maybe you could answer…
1. Now that it was introduced—now what? When will it come to a vote for cloture?
2. Now that OBAMA said he would focus on immigration—will DREAM wait to be included in the expected Comprehensive Reform?
3. Do we want DREAM to be a piecemeal or part of the bigger Comprehensive Reform?

Thank you again!

personally i want DREAM to be a stand alone bill not as part of CIR. I think it would take longer if it becomes part of CIR and i just believe that it needs to be seen separately but also of course as a stepstone to CIR.

Thank you. we dont need the idiocy of gangs to fil this forum.

On the first one, no one knows for sure.
second, it wont be Obama who brings it to thefloor but as I understand Senator Durbin will.

The third, we would prefer it not be attached to CIR due to CIR's political toughness.

BTW im in San Jose (SJSU Grad) we're are you?

Thank you for the responses!

I'm from San Francisco.

How's life after college? What do you do?

hey welcome!
&& thank you for being so enthusiastic about joining dap and the groups here. make sure to stick around!
like originalgabe said:
1. we're not sure yet.
2 and 3. we really want the da to be introduced alone.

I strongly agree

Ooof not so great. I work a measly job, write and devote my free time to do what i can to pass the DREAM Act.

Im actually planning on moving to the city this summer (late june/july)

really? and do what here? i have a measly job as well.. but i am still thankful for it. im looking for unpaid internships so i can make my resume look good when dream passes.
