Here is what I said when I made my call to her and all the other senators on the list:

"Hello, I urge Senator ________ to please support the Dream Act.

Many argue that we must secure our borders before passing the Dream Act. However Secretary Janet Napolitano has reported that we have more personnel, technology, and infrastructure at the border than ever before, including record numbers of Border Patrol agents and 1,200 National Guard personnel whom the President has authorized to assist at the border. As of this year, we have drone flights covering the southwest border from El Centro, CA to Brownsville, TX, and we have more border fencing than at any previous point in history.

Furthermore under the Dream Act, an applicant must have VERIFIABLE proof that she or he has been in the United States for more than 5 years, so immigrants who come after the enactment of the bill would not qualify.

To be clear, no one who poses a threat to public safety will be able to adjust their status under the DREAM Act. The bill ensures applicants will undergo a rigorous background check, and individuals who committed offenses that are grounds for removal will be barred from relief.

So please vote yes on the Dream Act and don't hold my friends hostages.

My zip code is _______. Thank You."

I always use a random zip code from their state.
