Gutierrez confident DREAM Act still alive; will stump for Reid
 
Quote:
But Gutierrez is holding out hope that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), who faces a difficult reelection bid this November, has plans to bring it back up before the upper chamber breaks for the fall.

Gutierrez pointed to a Senate rule that allows the bill, with two days' notice, to be brought to the chamber’s floor for consideration at any time. He also suggested that the Senate hold an up-or-down vote on the measure alone instead of attaching it to the defense authorization bill.

“I’m really really hopeful [that the DREAM Act will come up before the end of the year],” Gutierrez told The Hill after the measure stalled in the Senate this week. “I’m happy that the senators have used the procedural rule 14. Their clear intent is to give it another try. When? That’s up to them.

that's funny !!! :))

I do think that Gutierrez has a point though. Btw, in case you don't notice this, this is from the article

“The White House helped. I think they did. When we were with the president we were thinking 54 or 55 [votes in favor of the bill], but we got 57,” he said. “I kept saying that we had to have at least 55, so that they could proceed. This close to an election. Knowing that the DREAM Act is going to come up. That’s 57 Democrats that say let’s move it on.”
OMG !!!! I'm really really excited.... That means we only need 3 Republican votes

We already have 3 Reps for Yays. We are just waiting for DA to come up for a stand-alone vote.

I think u guys might need to do a little more research. From what I know from news articles Reid voted no so its 58 and not all Democrats support it. It was 57 votes bc Don't as don't Tell and Defense Bill. There is at least 3-5 GOPs that support it as a stan alone tho. OUR JOB now is to keep calling and sending them all kinds of memos to vote for the DA. Keep the pressure going to all senators. I do have confidence it will pass as a stand alone AFTER nov 2 elections.

We should be careful not to conflate 56 (57 with Reid) affirmative votes for beginning debate on the Defense Authorization Bill with with 57 affirmative votes for the DREAM Act. They are not the same. A vote to begin debate on the defense bill is just that. And while most of those that voted yes on Tuesday will also vote yes on DREAM, some will not. Therefore, it's not just a matter of getting "only 3 more GOP votes."

As long as there is some hope that DREAM will be reconsidered, then I'm fine with that. But that in no way should contribute to any belief that we only need the votes of a few sympathetic GOPers. We have to approach this like we have no GOP votes.

You need to do a little bit more research yourself. He voted No to bring back the defense bill. lol
