This may sound angry, but with how the DREAM Act has been treated by hypocritical senators by both parties, I wanted to air out my frustration.

I know he won't read it, but we should all send these kinds of letters to all of our opponents to show them that we do exist and their actions affect us.



Dear Senate Minority Leader,

I know you have been in the Senate for a very long time now. More than one person should hold office in my opinion.

After all this time, I would expect you to have developed a love for this country and its future. But unfortunately, you have chosen to be the leader of a caucus that is unprecedentedly abusing the filibuster. You have required 60 vote thresholds on almost every bill the Senate Majority has put forward. Even though a bill may have the majority of the Senate support, it can't pass because of your dealings with your caucus.

In 2010, you didn't allow Republican Senators that had supported and had actually co-sponsored the DREAM Act years past to support it because at the end of the day, it was your hand that made them not vote for it. You continue to betray your oath of office in the sense that you put special interests, especially corporations and lobbyists that fill your campaign and campaigns of your candidates.

I am someone who could have benefited from the DREAM Act and could have been a good student and go on to college where I could have gotten a good education and found a good paying job. Afte all, this is my country and I love it as much as you do. It is not my fault that I was brought when I was a kid. My father chose that, not I. I hope one day you realize the immoral mistake you made when you literally told your caucus to oppose the DREAM Act.

I don't know how men like you sleep at night. You are corrupt and heartless.

May God not bless you because you don't deserve it.
