Getting it introduced is not a hurdle...
You know, this is the second time you've said this and people are still wanting to call Durbin. Sen. Durbin is on our side already, and DREAM is very important to him. He'll introduce it, but it is up to us to help it pass.

Calling your senators and representatives and asking them to co-sponsor/support it is THE most important thing we can do right now.

oh so co sponsor is same thing as voting? hehe I wasn't aware that was the term they used. I thought there was a number of co sponsors needed to introduce and put it on the floor, then we vote or something like that...

Not the same thing as voting but if someone co-sponsors then it is almost a guarantee that they'll vote for it when it is time to vote.

Getting the bill introduces is not a problem as Durbin has done the same every year and we know he'll do it again when the time is right.
