This guy has a heart.

Good new Dreamers. Lets continue the pressure on the fence sitters..also i must say I hope Reid is doing so behind the scene work with other senetors...I would also like if maybe the Dream Act could get some more amendments so that the we can win some republican atleast.. Also the TAX CUTS need to get done asap...Keep your heads high Dreamers

well lugar was one of the original drafters of the dream act so its only natural that he vote yes. but still good news

I added Lugar to my call/fax list when I heard news that he might not support the DA. I think I'll fax him one last letter expressing my deepest gratitude for his dedication. He is an admirable man. Too bad there aren't many Republicans like him in the Senate.

Lugar you are my favorite republican.

relief!

I called his office and his staffers were hesitant to provide his official decision, so indicates we are still in the run for this, [I.E. nobody knows how a senator would vote, not even their staffer's

"I was going to support cloture this morning, and it was whisked away," Lugar said. Why? "It's beyond my pay grade. Harry gets to decide what he wants to vote on and what he doesn't."

?

It means that nobody can know with 100% certainty how a senator would cast his vote, I sounded out one of Lugar's staffer when I inquired whether Lugar would vote to support D.A., the staffer gave a very politcally answer, something along the lines, he supports the legislation and has in the past-co-sponsored, but never answered whether he would vote for the measure.
