I have been living in Texas for almost 12 yrs now, and there is something that really ruffles my feathers.

Texas is a large state with a very large Hispanic/ immigrant population. Yet, our representatives get away with being such assholes to us. Texas elected a recent Senator, Ted Cruz.

I don't know what ethnicity he claims, but I know he holds both US and Canada citizenship. He is very conservative and opposes everything he can. Here is a link to his record.

This guy is new and I want him to know that the face of America is changing and he can't keep opposing legislation without providing any alternative solutions. He needs to know that he was hired to find solutions, not to be an obstructive. For goodness sake, Texas has so many immigrants how is it we let guys like him bully us.

I have heard that the way to get politicians to know you exist is to flood their phone lines with messages.

If you have a few minutes to kill; If you are just browsing around this site looking for information or helping your fellow dreamers; If you just dislike how much politicians play games that affect peoples everyday lives; If you just want to feel like you did something, however small;

LETS CALL SENATOR CRUZ phone line and let the phone operator know you just want leave a very important message for the Senator:

We Texans and Americans support a much needed, very crucial comprehensive immigration reform (or just the Dream Act if that is your view). We would like the Senator to support Immigration reform, and we would like him to accelerate this issue in Congress.

Now some of you might think, what's the use, he is so conservative and he won't change, or I am just one phone call. I promise you if even only a third of the DAP members do this we will have made ourselves heard, and at least we will be able to let this guy know that we are here, we are watching him, and whether he likes it or not, we will be voting in the future.
It's a tiny action that will take 2 minutes of your time. Let's do it, we have nothing to loose.
