Senator Durbin calling for DREAM Act to pass in memory of Joaquin Luna! See video below.

Thank you Senator for your wisdom, compassion and understanding.



Attention all immigration and DREAM Act activists:

Please click on this link and find your state Congressman. Please tell your Congressman to pass the DREAM Act before they go on their Merry Holiday vacations in memory of Joaquin Luna!

Time is of the essence. Last year the DREAM Act failed in December 2010, but now we are approaching a key Presidential election year where politicians are going to be begging for the Latino vote. The politicians who want the Latino vote in all high Hispanic populated states will need to prove and work for the Latino vote. Please hold them accountable if you live in the greater southwest, Illinois, Florida, New York.

After you find your state representative, please contact your state Senator by clicking on this link. Tell your Senator to pass the federal DREAM Act before they go on their Merry vacations in memory of Joaquin Luna!

Tell them we will remember how they vote when they ask for our vote in 2012.

If you don’t know what to write your Congressman or Senator, then consider cutting and pasting the below information:



Dear Representative,

We are asking you to please pass the Joaquin Luna federal DREAM Act before you go on Christmas or Holiday vacation. We want to prevent future despair and suicides from undocumented youth who feel they have no other options. We pray for your compassion and understanding to the wishes of the Joaquin Luna family.

Thank you.



We only have a few days before these politicians take their break! Please take the time to write them, and if you need motivation, please consider Joaquin Luna’s family! It is their wish to help others. Write your congressmen and women for those undocumented immigrants who have no voice. We have a responsibility to defend the weak, the helpless and the poor. Please write them now.

Amen.

Notice that Durbin handled the issue very well in his speech, making it difficult for Republicans to reprimand him for using the Joaquin Luna story: "The case is still under investigation, so I won't jump to any conclusions. . . ."

I also loved the fact that he addressed the immigration bill that the lower house passed a few weeks ago. That's what I wanted him to say! Oh yeah. That felt good.

If only the rest of the Senate and the Congress were as rational as Durbin. Why can't this man be my Senator?

This won't sway the minds of the ones who voted against it. I hope it passes I really do, but anything happening seems highly unlikely.

Most of these politicians don't know how to run a country.

Same here. It is highly likely that it will not pass. If it does manage to pass some way, wow.
