So I think it's important that when we call we ask first for that senator's position on the Dream Act so we know where they stand as of now, and then whether they support, oppose, or have no position yet, urge them to "support Senator Durbin's Dream Act amendment to the Defense Authorization Bill this week." Then post it, so this way we know the senator's positions from day to day so as the week goes on and senators change positions, we know who to bombard with calls specifically. Just an idea, any other suggestions welcome

Ok, so today...
Cornyn...got a staffer, has no position yet (according to citizen cause I forgot to ask the first time lol)
Hutchinson...no position yet also
Burr...no position yet
Dorgan...no position yet
Landrieu...voicemail
Harkin...not supporting!!!!!! this is what I mean!*******
Sanders...voicemail
Grassley...voicemail
Collins...voicemail

And the ones Citizen(H&D) called that I didn't...
Obama...no position yet
Fienstein...no position yet
Graham...voicemail

OK guys, keep leaving voicemails tonight and tomorrow call, call, call, especially Harkin!

I just called Sen. Harkin's office and I said the usual stuff. But I added that he cosponsored it in the previous 2 Congresses

The staffer lady said "Yes, I believe he'll continue to cosponsor it." Maybe she didn't know what the Dream Act was or the staffer free got was misinformed or he changed his mind. I hope we get his vote.

I know some of these senator's positions are already set in stone, I understand that. This is strictly regurgitating what I heard from the staffers is all. Either way I'm still calling every single one, regardless of how likely they are to support it or not, with the exceptions of maybe Sessions and Vitter, though I think I'll call them anyway too haha. Anyhoo, I did the whole list today, and every single office, literally, told me that they either had no position or they weren't aware of their positions, and one guy even said "Well of course I haven't asked the senator personally but...lol" Maybe I just get all the non-knowledgeable staffers or something. But, tomorrow is another day, leave no senator uncalled!
