Call-in Day Today – “Support the DREAM Act”
 
Over at DREAMActivist.org, they are having a Call-In Day. Please join in.



Quote:

Today is a day to be making calls to your members urging them to move along the DREAM Act. It is nice to unite our efforts in these phone calls a few times a year and we have decided to have today be one of those days. The more calls we can generate today the more impact we can make on these members and remind them that we are still here and expect a lot out of them.

The Dream Act only has a small window to move, so your call today can have a big impact. This task will take you a total of 30 minutes.

ROUND 1 – Allies:

Script: “Hi, my name is (first name) and I am calling to thank the member for their support of the DREAM Act and to urge the member to do anything they can to move the DREAM Act forward this year. Many have been waiting way too long for this legislation to move and right now is the time. Our movement really needs a win and the DREAM Act is a good piece of legislation that shows we need reform that is based on education and hard work. I know the member knows this so I just wanted to convey my support as well. Thanks.”

Sen. Durbin (IL): DC office @ 202.224.2152 | District office @ (312) 353-4952

Sen. Reid (NV): DC office @ 202.224.3542 | District office @ 702-388-5020

Sen. Menendez (NJ): DC office @ 202.224.4744 | District office @ 973.645.3030

Sen. Lugar (IN): DC office @ (202) 224-4814 | District office @ 317.226.5555

Rep. Berman (CA): DC office @ 202.225.4695 | District office @ (818) 994-7200

ROUND 2 – Need to Move:

Script: “Hi, my name is (first name) and I am calling to urge the member to co-sponsor the Dream act. This bill would allow for undocumented young people who were brought to this country at a very young age to fix their legal status by going to school for two years or joining the military. This is a bill that is based on hard work and education, all founding principles of this country, and should be something the member should support. Please pass on my message urging the member to co-sponsor the DREAM Act (s.729 / h.b. 1751). Thank you.”

I've also been calling some of the recent cosponsors to thank them for their help. They need to be reassured for what they may perceive was a politically unpopular move.
