We should definitely get the ball rolling. We've already agreed that DREAM would be better off if it was attached to something. So I was wondering if we should state that in our letters, we can even go the distance and maybe look through pending bills that we can suggest such as an Education or Military bill that's pending. It might demonstrate that we're not just sitting here begging for something but that we have carefully searched the options and we're really focused on getting things done. It would have to be carefully thought out before we can do that tho. I came across two lists we can choose from. I'm not sure if this is a good idea at all, I'm just putting it in the air.

you'll notice that some of these are not even relevant to DREAM, but a few can def. fit the package.

EDUCATION BILLS:

MILITARY BILLS:

EDIT: I just looked at Senator Durbin's Site and came across this: http://www.dickdurbin.com/issues?id=0007 , We can push for DREAM under his intention to reform the NCLB Law! (No Child Left Behind) http://www.ed.gov/policy/elsec/leg/esea02/index.html it seems he's really stuck on that, and It might be the perfect opening, and it is very relevant.
