Thank you, lilbawler2001 for taking the initiative to focus our efforts. People, we must participate in these calling campaigns! DREAM'S passage requires our PASSION and not our passive participation or worse, apathy. If you say you are passionate about DREAM passing, you will not think twice to participate in these campaigns.

The issue I have is that there are but a few very dedicated members on this forum that are willing to take the lead on things. Instead, we have many that are quick to follow but very slow in taking action when there is no apparent leader for a particular activity. I read many "I'd do this, but I can't because of this," type of comments. This is not a shot at those that post such comments, because in all honesty we have all succumb to that line of thinking at one point or another in our struggle for DREAM. However, if the fact that DREAM has languished in the Senate for 6 years has not yet ignited your passion to act, then perhaps your wishes and hopes for DREAM's passage are not that sincere.

Some will say that it is not the responsibility of members to participate if they do not feel compelled; that they have the choice to act or not. And as sad as that thought is, I will concede its validity. Everyone has their lives to lead, and taking care of number one is the first priority. I understand that completely. But let this be a call to action for those that are merely sitting, hoping, and praying that DREAM will pass: IT WILL NOT PASS WITHOUT YOUR FULL COOPERATION AND PARTICIPATION. Despite whatever personal struggles you may have, I ask that you take whatever time you can to participate. Be it as little as 10-15 minutes a day, but whatever you can give would be greatly appreciated.
