i forget where but i found this online. it looks like a great start for writing letters but i've also been told that personal letters are more effective. so maybe use this as a platform but then tweak it a little to make it more original?


The DREAM Act, S. 2075, has been introduced in the Senate! The key sponsors of the DREAM Act of 2005 are Richard Durbin (D-IL), Chuck Hagel (R-NE) and Richard Lugar (R-IN).

As your constituents, we urge you to cosponsor the DREAM Act, S. 2075.

If enacted, the DREAM Act would transform the lives of persons who were brought to the U.S. years ago as undocumented children and who have stayed in school and out of trouble since their arrival. Currently these individuals have no pathway to legalize their immigration status and get on with their lives. The DREAM Act would correct this flaw for those who graduate from high school and pursue higher education or serve in the military.

Those helped would include Marie Gonzalez who grew up in Jefferson City, Missouri. A Latina Magazine Mujer of the Year, she became a symbol for thousands of others in similar situations, last year, when she was able to stave off deportation with the help of thousands of supporters. Now she is quietly attending college, but has only been given a reprieve until July of 2006 and could again face deportation if the DREAM Act is not enacted.

Introduction of the DREAM Act comes at a time when Congress will also address the issue of comprehensive immigration reform. Despite the outcome of that debate, DREAM must be addressed on its own merits because it will have a positive impact on education, fairness to children, and American competitiveness.

Young people facing high school graduation and major decisions about college or work should not be asked to wait until Congress resolves all of the other vexing immigration issues. Rather, Congress should act now and take these young people off of the field of battle of the immigration wars.

We urge you to cosponsor the DREAM Act.

Excelent! Thank you.

Most of our team here is, unfortunaly, in the middle of piles and piles of school work and thats why we are stalling a little, but we are doing our best. Once again thanks, that piece of text will save us some time, the main limiting factor.
