DREAM Act Vote is a No. There is Still Hope!

At 3:00 pm today a vote was taken on the Defense Authorization Bill, this is the bill that the DREAM Act would have been attached to. This was a vote on whether or not to simply talk about the Defense Authorization Bill, which the DREAM Act would have been attached. This vote did not go through, but this is NOT the end of the line.

This is not the end of the DREAM Act though, we still have one more hurdle we can overcome for the passage of this bill. Now is the opportunity to ask our politicians to stop politicizing an issue that affects our lives, and put the DREAM Act up for a stand-alone vote. Let's demand that the DREAM Act pass as a stand-alone bill this September.
There is only ONE person who can make this possible and that is Democratic Senator Harry Reid from NV. You need to call him now and urge that he stop playing politics with your life, demand that he immediately schedule the DREAM Act for a vote as a stand alone bill. This means in September, NOT after elections.

Dial: 1-202-224-3121 and ask to speak with Senator Reid from NV:

"Hi I am calling to ask that senator Reid stop playing politics with the DREAM Act. I am calling to ask that he immediately bring it up for a vote. Thank you."

Your action now is going to decide the fate of the DREAM Act. Take a stand and make the call. While you are calling we are going to continue to have folks in D.C. hold the heat on the senators

Seriously guys we have I believe less then 40 days for it to be brought up as a stand alone bill. We can't give up

nooooooooooooooo

Aren't they going to review this bill in Nov or Dec to bring it back up?

Sen. Reid plans to offer the defense bill in the lame duck session after the elections. Also, the Senate only has a couple of weeks left before they adjourn and Senators head back to their home states to campaign.
