Senator Reid will be moving the DREAM Act to a vote via as an amendment to the Defense Authorization Bill.

What does this mean?

It means that the DREAM Act still needs 60 votes to pass. We still need 60 senators to say yes when it comes time for the bill to be attached to the defense bill.

What can you do to help?

We need calls right now. We need to flood offices with calls in support of the DREAM Act. Currently we are being beat by anti-immigrants 10 calls to 1. That means for every 1 call you make in support 10 people are calling against the DREAM Act.

TAKE ACTION NOW AND CALL IN SUPPORT OF THE DREAM ACT:

Dial: 1-888-254-5087 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 1-888-254-5087 end_of_the_skype_highlighting

Ask for the following people and leave a message with their office.

Call-in Script for Republicans:

“Hi I am calling to ask that Senator _______ vote for the DREAM Act. This bill will allow for undocumented youth to fix their status by serving this country in the uniformed services in addition to allowing for them to return the investment our country has made in them. Please have the member support the dream act.”

Republicans:
Sen. Hatch of Utah
Sen. Bunning of Kentucky
Sen. Bennet of Utah
Sen. Gregg of New Hampshire
Sen. Bailey-Hutchison of Texas
Sen. McCain of Arizona
Sen. Voinovich of Ohio
Sen. Snowe of Maine
Sen. Collins of Maine
Sen. LeMeiux of Florida
Sen. Brownback of Kansas

Call-in script for Democrats:

“Hi I am calling to ask that Senator _______ vote in favor of the DREAM Act. This bill will allow for thousands of undocumented youth to fix their status by getting a two year college degree or joining the military. This is an investment in our countries future. Support the DREAM Act.”

Democrats:
Sen. Hagan of North Carolina
Sen. Pryor of Arkansas
Sen. Landrieu of Louisiana
Sen. Conrad of North Dakota
Sen. Dorgan of North Dakota
Sen. Nelson of Florida
Sen. Baucus of Montana
Sen. Tester of Montana
Sen. Feinstein of California

CALLED ALL OF THEM? CALL AGAIN AND HAVE FIVE FRIENDS DO THE SAME THING.
here you go!

you say that you want to be transferred to your state senator, or you cans say a specific one. she will transfer you. and then you leave a message with their viocemail, since their office is closed at this time. then do it over again with another senator, hell call ones not in your state.

I'm kinda of a shy person but I've manage to get over it, and you can't get as shy as me. Come on people, we depend on this, is now or never, do-or-die and we don't have much time left.

Come on! this is not the time to be shy!

Quote:
The Phone is 1-888-254-5087 ask to get connected to your target senator.

And then read this script:

“Hi, my name is _________ and I am calling to urge Senator ____ to support the DREAM Act Now (S.729) The DREAM Act allows immigrant youth of good moral character to make crucial economic contributions to the United States. Thank you"


It’s that easy!! Each phone call gets us closer and closer to finally making thousands of DREAMs a reality.

Tomorrow after school, I'm literally dedicating from 4 - 6 just to make phone calls.

The way I see it is this; our entire lives have been shaped by things out of our control. We couldn't control our parents decisions to come here or the fact that we can't even drive legally, just to name a few. But now we're finally given an opportunity to help possibly change our future.. Let's take control of our lives for once.
