Thanks for complimenting my post.

Yes, I think that the difference in though is that you believe this forum can be an organized and I do not. Still, I respect your position and you do have a point. I am not going to get into a lame debate of which opinion is the right one because again, I admit, you do have a strong argument. I also wish for you to be right.

Looking back, I can see how some Dreamers can get discourage. It looks like a lot of work and yes, having something more organized would stream line that process. I would die of happiness if you are right. If I am right there is this post were people can see what they need to do for something to get achieve.

okay, here is the drill, flyers are the least effective way to get someone to do something. -Still, I love the flyer idea and I will downloaded and post it not only in my school but in nearby college. Still, if you hand out flyers or put them on the wall. The rate of someone reading it and doing something is less than 10%. If you call people, the odds change to like 25% and grow bigger if you know the person. If you talked to someone the changes of them doing something is 50%. Since this community is virtual, we cannot talk face to face but still, email, pm becoming facebook buddies do increase your changes of getting the needed support.

This is how people do it on the streets. They talk to friends and estrangers and convince them how this is important. Furthermore, you need to convince someone why it is important for THEM, not you. Why it is important for them to be on DAP or parading or calling senators. Network and sell, sell and network. By the time the dream act passes, you are going to be able to sell ice in the pole north. You are going to get a job in no time because shamelessly promoting something will be so engraved in your DNA, that neither China nor India are going to what hit them when you get all the jobs, they were supposed to steal from you.
