Get the media involved...
 
Hey guys,

We need to find a way to get the mainstream media talking about the Dream Act somehow. That's the only reason this whole AIG situation is getting so much attention from politicians is because the media keeps talking about it. If it weren't for the media, the AIG bonus thing won't be on the politicians "to do list". Of course us sending letters and emails to politicians is key, but we also need to find a way to get the media invloved.

Idk if I'm going over my head on this one, but I was just thinking about it. If we all make an effort sending emails, letters, etc. to the media we might be on to something (idk about Fox News though lol). Like every time they interview a politician then they can ask about it, and just keep the issue hot.

What you guys think?

If I had like a makeup artist and professional wardrobe and a good lighting team then I'd be the face of the dream act lol. Not that I need those things ,but I would be very confident in projecting our message. I just feel that we need to stop hiding because people need to know and be well informed. :)

Haha. I was just kidding about the hunger strike, although it would get an amazing amount of attention from the media.
