No more empty promises! Actions speak louder then words, we have heard words about the Dream Act for the past 6 yrs.

Calling Blitz its DO or Die 8/28 - Till we get a damn vote!

Over the break i believe we have done as much as we can regarding gaining support for the Dream Act.. But no matter how many Senators have changed their mind in our support, we have to pressure the big dogs who have the only say what comes to the Senate floor and what does not. We can have 80 cosponsors but unless they agree to bring it to the floor, it will never pass.... Here are the people we have to put as much pressure on as never before, this is not about annoying them, this is about letting them know that we have been patient, and waited long enough and the time for action is NOW!!!

One of the most important people here is Senator McConnell the leader of Republicans and if he votes YES for Dream Act, you can surely expect half of Republicans to vote the same as him, since he has so much influence!

Democratic Majority Leader: Harry Reid : 202-224-3542
Majority Democratic Whip # 2 Democrat: Dick Durbin: 202 224-2152

Republican Minority Leader: Mitch McConnell: 202-224-2541
Minority Republican Whip # 2 Republican: Trent Lott: 202-224-6253

Orrin Hatch: 202-224-5251
Richard Lugar: 202-224-4814
Chuck Hagel: 202 224-4224

If you do not know what to say when you call here is a sample: Hi, im calling to urge the Senator to do everything he can to bring the Dream Act S.774 to the Senate floor for a vote as soon as possible!

Maybe thats a good sign, that people are calling.. What i usually do is, if im on hold for more then 3 minutes i hang up and call back, and for some reason they dont put me on hold anymore and i speak to someone right away

Ok you guys want one more incentive to call Durbin!? My convo..

Hi can i speak to someone regarding Educational issues or the Judiciary?

Do you have a specific question about an issue?

Yes i would like to know if the Dream Act will be back on the Senate floor any time soon for a vote, perhaps as part of the Defense Bill?!

At this time, we are not sure, and we actually dont know yet! The Senator will make the decision when he gets back from his summer break.

Do you have any suggestions what can people like me do to help bring it to the floor ASAP?

Well sir we are taking calls, and we take all comments down and pass them on to the Senator, i can assure you the more calls we receive about a specific issue the greater the chance the Senator will pay attention to the comments

I guess you know what to do?
