Hello fellow DREAMERS, I want to share some words with all of those, including myself, who have been loosing hope for the DREAM ACT to pass..

" But my God SHALL SUPPLY all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus"

This is when we need to have FAITH AND BELIEVE THE MOST!!!

If the Dream Act would have been brought to the floor as a stand-alone, Senators would have been able to attach border security amendments.

What else is on the defense bill? What IF they decide to pass portions of the bill and not DA. I'm optimistic though. So.. hopefully it passes

Take Action on DREAM now
Senator Reid will be moving the DREAM Act to a vote via as an amendment to the Defense Authorization Bill.

What does this mean?

It means that the DREAM Act still needs 60 votes to pass. We still need 60 senators to say yes when it comes time for the bill to be attached to the defense bill.

What can you do to help?

We need calls right now. We need to flood offices with calls in support of the DREAM Act. Currently we are being beat by anti-immigrants 10 calls to 1. That means for every 1 call you make in support 10 people are calling against the DREAM Act.

TAKE ACTION NOW AND CALL IN SUPPORT OF THE DREAM ACT:

Dial: 1-888-254-5087

Ask for the following people and leave a message with their office.

Call-in Script for Republicans:

“Hi I am calling to ask that Senator _______ vote for the DREAM Act. This bill will allow for undocumented youth to fix their status by serving this country in the armed services in addition to allowing for them to return the investment our country has made in them. Please have the member support the dream act.”

Republicans:
Sen. Hatch of Utah
Sen. Bunning of Kentucky
Sen. Bennet of Utah
Sen. Gregg of New Hampshire
Sen. Bailey-Hutchison of Texas
Sen. McCain of Arizona
Sen. Voinovich of Ohio
Sen. Snowe of Maine
Sen. Collins of Maine
Sen. LeMeiux of Florida
Sen. Brownback of Kansas

Call-in script for Democrats:

“Hi I am calling to ask that Senator _______ vote in favor of the DREAM Act. This bill will allow for thousands of undocumented youth to fix their status by getting a two year college degree or joining the military. This is an investment in our countries future. Support the DREAM Act.”

Democrats:
Sen. Hagan of North Carolina
Sen. Pryor of Arkansas
Sen. Landrieu of Louisiana
Sen. Conrad of North Dakota
Sen. Dorgan of North Dakota
Sen. Nelson of Florida
Sen. Baucus of Montana
Sen. Tester of Montana
Sen. Feinstein of California

CALLED ALL OF THEM? CALL AGAIN AND HAVE FIVE FRIENDS DO THE SAME THING.

Yeah.. in a way.. Republicans kept saying that they first want a secure border then they can tackle the immigration issue. But it can be a little bit challenging some Republicans just want Obama to fail. so they are saying no to pretty much anything.. but it's still possible even without them. we just have to see how elections turn out and what also goes down next week !
