Furthermore, I forgot if it was Durbin, Menendez, or Gutierrez that mentioned that at this moment we have 58 senators on board with the DREAM Act, that is also taking into consideration the democratic senators that are not on board.

The reason that they gave as to why it did not pass in september was because the republican senators complained that the defense bill had to be alone, not news to most here, but they have brought it as a stand alone in order to not give them that excuse again. Well, this time they said they will not pass anything until the tax bill goes through, so they are going to finish the taxation bill by tomorrow.

Then they will tackle the START treaty and the government funding bill before touching the DREAM Act, which should give us an opportunity to call, call, call. They are now potentially facing other obstacles, excuses by the republicans who want to read the bills again (i took that as meaning the START treaty and government), which according to Durbin one takes about 15 hours to read and the other about a day, obviously a tactic to take time away, and they are trying to prevent that from happening in order to get this through before the lame duck session ends.

They gave a number a few times, I was not ready to get it down, and unsure at this moment if I got it right, 8669965161 that is the number they gave I believe to call if your senator is not online, I have not called yet, but they really want everyone to continue on calling senators in support of the DREAM Act. I did not get the number to call if you senator was already on board.

that is pretty much what I recall from the call.

If you have any questions they asked that you go to the page I mentioned above http://reformimmigrationforamerica.org/
