Obama: I will do “everything in my power” to enact the Dream Act. - Page 2

Massive hunger strike anyone?

I really think they should make this a human rights issue, I mean deng it, we are people after all !

I'm with you on this one Smooth, I think I have something to my advantage anyway, but maybe I'm wrong, what do you guys think? - My dad is a 76 yr old american citizen, I could say that I take care of him, and that if I get deported he will go through extreme hardship? Comments anyone??

This is absolutely pathetic. The man has the election in his bag yet he is begging literally on his knees begging for votes.

In my opinion it's true that Nancy Pelosi would be a huge gain if she becomes speaker again. If you guys remember the DA passed under her belt in the House, but it FAILED in the senate. Obama owes Pelosi a great deal getting the Healthcare Reform pass. I have no doubt in my mind that Pelosi is one of the key players in getting it pass in the house. Obama didn't try hard enough in the senate.

Do you think a minuteman really cares if you starve?

I never really understood the hungerstrike thing.

"Under certain circumstances, fasting is the one weapon God has given us for use in times of utter helplessness." Mahatma Gandhi

Speaks the truth for most of us I believe.

Imagine not one but hundreds of us going on a hunger strike on the washington capitol? Arrested or not it would be amazing. Plus, if we do get arrested maybe we'll get the coveted ticket to a work permit. lol

Yes!!!!! It would be a huge message. I feel helpless. We are in the hands of cycnial people with suits and ties. We really need to send out a huge message.

A few of us have done individual hunger strikes here and there but a massive one would be really "moving."

What we need is some really strong grassroot movement. It is true what Obama, Durbin, and Gutierrez are all saying that we need to take matters into our own hands and start talking to every DA recipients out there. Nothing will happen with us just reading posts on here and hoping something miraculous to happen.
