Dream action Day will BEGIN!!!
Hello!!! I'm from Indiana and represent L.Y.C.( The Latino Youth Collective), and we have recently attended to one of his invites to his office to talk about his support on the Dream act for 2009. Senator Lugar is a strong supporter and what he needs is support from the community. It is true that it'll be introduced this week and we need everyone's support on calling senators to support the bill. If you live in Indiana please make several calls to senator Lugar and thank him for his support and for introducing it.
Thanks

Dear friends,
The Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act will be introduced in the U.S. Senate next week. The bipartisan, bicameral legislation ensures that this country benefits from keeping the best and brightest students by allowing them to become productive contributors to the country's economy. DREAM ensures that no child in America is denied their dream of having a better life through education if they are willing to work for it.
On Tuesday, March 24th, supporters of the DREAM Act from across the nation are standing in solidarity to ensure that this legislation is passed in 2009; more information can be found below. Please support the National DREAM Action Day by:
* Calling your Indiana Senators and Representatives (contact information included below).
* Signing the National DREAM Petition and
* Forwarding this email to your friends and family
Also, The Latino/a Youth Collective of Indiana is proud to partner with Senator Richard Lugar in raising awareness about the DREAM Act. Join us on Saturday, March 28 from 10 a.m. to noon at Ivy Tech Community College to celebrate the reintroduction of DREAM. The event will feature student testimonios (testimonies), statements from the Senator and information about the DREAM Act. Please save the date; we want to pack the auditorium to show that Indiana supports the DREAM Act!! More information to follow later this week.
Thank you for your support!

SCRIPT FOR CALL-IN
"I'm calling to ask Representative _______ to co-sponsor and/or vote in favor of the DREAM Act.
