We can not start over from the beginning. We must continue the gained momentum we have. Take a 44 cent stamp and address the envelop to >

The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave
Washington, DC 20500

Copy/Paste the letter below on the bottom of the letter insert your own educational accomplishments even if you are still in high school and also the age you were brought here and how old you are today. Just follow the example at the bottom of the letter. I would put return address on envelop to make it look legit.

Then go to www.whitehouse.gov/contact
Go to contact and copy/paste the same letter in the e-mail form and send it.

Dear President Obama,
Many presidents have been faced with great challenges throughout American history. Some have been at the forefront of courageous decisions that defined them as a great president.
Since George Washington presidents have used Executive Orders to correct an injustice.
In 1862 President Lincoln by Executive Order suspended the writ of habeas corpus and issued the Emancipation Proclamation.
President Truman by Executive Order integrated the armed forces of the United States.
President Eisenhower by Executive Order desegregated schools.
President Kennedy and President Johnson by Executive Order barred racial discrimination in federal housing, hiring and contracting.
Mr. President you have the will of the House of Representatives and the majority vote in the United States Senate to correct an injustice to children who were brought to the United States without their consent and were raised here as loyal patriotic Americans. In a sense they are American refugees.
These great Presidents could no longer stand on the side lines and tolerate the injustices and suffering of so many people.
Mr. President find it in your heart and ask God for the wisdom and justice that you may have the courage by Executive Order to implement the will of the United States House of Representatives and the Senate of the United States. Grant a temporary status for children with college degrees or willing to serve in the United States military.
I was brought to America at age 5 and today I am 26. I have a B.S. in Bio-Chemistry and in May 2011 I will graduate with a M.S. in Food Science.
Mr. President you have the power to end our suffering and free us from this injustice of not being documented.
Sincerely,

Take a very careful look at what those other Presidents did to advance civil rights. I want him to respond with a yes or no. If its no then he is just like Mc Cain. If its no then the Lantino's and all who support Dream Act should go against him in 2012. Why do you think Presidents have EO? This is the perfect opportunity for him to be a great President and put his stamp on history. Explain to me how it hurts to ask? Its puts him in a corner and he has 3 choices. No, Yes or Ignore it. No and Ignore make him look very bad to his supporters.

All those EO's were to correct an injustice for American Citizens, we are not American Citizens, at least not in paper. It would be a just EO, but a really controversial one.

The SLAVES were not American Citizens! They were not even HUMANS! And all those past EO were much more controversial at the time. That is why you have brave people making courageous decisions in history. What is so controversial about using his power and that is why he has it to enforce the will of both the house and the senate? What do we have to lose in asking and asking and asking. It keeps some part of our flame alive.
