Students Fight for the Dream Act: A Message from the DREAM Act Portal Forum
September 5, 2007

We, the members of The Dream Act Portal Forum, are asking parents, students and pro-immigrant organizations to be part of our campaign for the passage of the DREAM Act. If anyone who is reading this letter was considering calling, writing, faxing or e-mailing his/her Senators, today is going to be the best day to do so. Juan Gomez is a young man facing deportation. He was brought by his parents when he was only two years old. Now, his only chance to stay in the United States of America is the DREAM Act. He made national news, a few weeks ago, when his school mates went to Washington, D.C. and spoke to politicians. Today, Juan Gomez and several members of the Dream Act Portal Forum are in Washington, and they are talking to Senators about the importance of the DREAM Act. The DREAM Act is not a little amnesty, since none of its beneficiaries choose to break the law. Neither it is fiscally impossible. Every year 65,000 undocumented students graduate from High School, from a total high school graduate population of 2.5 million students. Undocumented students are less than 3% of the total population. Even if this numbers increase, they would still be less than 6% of the total population at best. For a student to qualify he/she needs: Be 16 or younger when arrived to the United States. Lived for 5 years or more in the USA. Graduated from High School Have good moral character, and no criminal record. In addition, he/she needs to finish two years of higher education or serve honorably in the military. For more information about the Dream Act: http://www.thomas.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c110:S.774 A link to your senators contact information: http://www.senate.gov/general/contac...nators_cfm.cfm

Send an e-mail to your senator: http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia...aign_KEY=12129

Please, call your senators and tell them that you want the Dream Act to pass as soon as possible.

Thank You Dream Act Portal Forum Member

It is my worst writig so far, but it is aut there!

I know no one is posting in this thread 'cause everybody is calling!

I think Hatch's people abandoned his office...just rings and rings...

Some staff make me wait like 10 minuntes! they like even forget I am there because I am not hang it up. I think that is good, it means they are getting a lot of calls. I know we are calling more than kkk because I trust the common sense of the members of this forum. Thus, keep it up people, call, call and afterwards leave a message.

i had trouble getting through to Durbin's staff before

Why do some ask for your address? What do you guys do or say when they ask you for that!

Because when they asked me I just said that I was just calling to support the Dream Act that's all! and then she said Oh Alright thanks I'll let him know!

I'll PM you with what I do

They want to have your address on file so they can send you crap about the Senator come election time. Just tell them you'd rather not give it or that you don't wish to receive mail from the Senator.

keep on calling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope you people are still calling...
