Texas DREAM Supporters Organize
We should try to organize in Texas a little more. Since people have informally volunteered to help in Texas, it's a good place to start DAP's "real" life organizational activities. Tentatively named "AIM". Long Term Objectives For Texas:
1) One trip to visit the offices of the two Senators (and house reps you may think are on the fence) to lobby for DREAM. Cornyn wouldn't meet with DREAMers last time so we should send citizens to his office. Maybe, some people from I2US and our organization could collaborate. 2) If anyone is interested in doing more after the trip we could try to set up visits to certain high schools and informing kids that they can go to college. Good volunteer opportunity to put on resumes. I'm looking for citizens supporters of DREAM and few DREAMies. Reply to this thread or PM me if you're interested. |

paging free ...
u have probably already tried dreamacttexas? |
Re: Texas DREAM Supporters Organize
I'll get getting in touch with them as after I know how many people we have and what dates those people are available. The one person who informally offered has a really erratic schedule. The trip won't go down until early next year and it will be a one time thing.

Re: Texas DREAM Supporters Organize
I should be going to ATX at least once a month starting in January. Willing to help out but need guidance as I'm not a politician nor understand their logic. I''ve also volunteered to speak about this issue at a college/career fair in the coming months...they're are providing me the presentation material but if any of you guys have more to offer or thinks should be mentioned let me know.

Re: Texas DREAM Supporters Organize
Be careful. The last time undocumented students tried to meet Sen. Cornyn back in 2007, the Sen. refused to meet them and would only meet with citizen immigration activists that accompanied them. He said these undocumented students were "flaunting" their illegal status.
Cornyn rejects students Quote:

I can imagine him saying this: "I don't care if you were a child when the crime was committed, and that there's nothing even close to feasible you can do to fix it, derrrr illegal is illegal derrrr!!!!" It makes my blood boil!!!!!! |
Re: Texas DREAM Supporters Organize
Well I'm not undocumented anymore and just applied for citizenship...so I hopefully Cornyn is willing to talk to an ex-DREAMie...I'll be going to Austin once a month for Grad. School...

Re: Texas DREAM Supporters Organize
I don't think Cornyn is a good target for any campaign. There is absolutely no way he will ever vote for DREAM.
