For all those [mod edit] going “oh, what a disappointment. It’s all about politics” give me a fucking break! [mod edit].

If Reid had waited until after the elections these would’ve been the same [mod edit] going “yeah Reid took his sweet time because he doesn’t care about us, it’s all about politics”; and if he had waited until after the new Congress convened, they would’ve said “geez, thanks for waiting until there weren’t enough Democrats to kill the DA on the Senate floor, it’s all about politics” so why don’t you just shut [mod edit].

When the hell do you want the DA to be brought to the Senate floor? The fact is that there will never be a perfect time for the Dream Act, NEVER!! So instead of fucking up the only chance we’ll have in about 10 years get on that phone and make phone calls.

Technically you’d only need 51 votes to attach an amendment to a larger bill Abby; however, there won’t be unanimous consent to bring the DA to the floor ( Republicans will flip a bitch and accuse Democrats of trying to give handouts to “illegals” in the middle of a recession and at the expense of our troops) so Democrats will have to muster 60 votes to end a Republican filibuster and move forward with the defense bill.

Our prayers are being heard, pray to god, email your senators, and then pray again. We show our will and god will do the rest. What obama and congress can't, GOD CAN. The dream act will pass this year, god is finally answering our prayers.

How many of you guys strongly believe we will get the 60 votes? I sure hope we do :/

Quick question, does your status matter when calling senators? I want to make some calls but I wasn't sure on who I should call and if I'm even "allowed" to since I'm not a citizen.
Who should I call? I live in Arizona, I don't know if that makes a difference, but yeah.

10/10 otherwise Reid wouldn't have consider it. The worse thing we can do right now is doubt ourselves just go pick up a phone or fax these politicians until you get tired.

I will as soon as I finish this history paper =). Was doing my work and thinking about how life will be after college without me being able to join the military, become a teacher, or finish med school and become a pediatrician. (3 of the career opportunities I would like a chance of pursuing. With military service of 4-5 years coming immediately after I get my degree) I log on and see this =).

Time to get back to work, just told every friend who I know supports the dream act the news, I hope I can get their support in helping me email some senators this friday.
