Where should I be????????

It would be best if everyone stayed on the same thread so we can stay organized. Follow April's lead.

I just called him again and they are keeping a scorecard on people for and against, per staffer, "so far, it's about even". He needs to get some more calls against the Dream Act. Staffer said they're only counting those who call with a valid zip code and county. Here's a few zips you can use:

87109, 87122, 87112, 87017, 87110 all in Bernalillo County (Burn-ul-eo)

87015 Santa Fe County

Midland, TX, Midland County 79701, 79702
Odessa, TX, Ector Coutny, 79761, 79762, 79763

Dole, STILL hasn't made up her mind. ( put on hold for several minutes)
Warner- waiting to see if the amendment will make it to the floor (riiiight) THEN he will decide. (put on hold again)
Webb- still evaluating - hasn't issued a statement. He is aware the vote is coming up soon, possibly today.

They all agree DREAM/SKIL have nothing to do with defense spending, but as I was told by the Webb staffer, "It's common practice to place unrelated items in with spending bills." I told him it was an Unconstitutional practice, sneaky and underhanded and beneath the standards of what Americans expect of our lawmakers in Washington.

Sorry I don't have more to report, doing what I can while here at work.

See update on other thread Dole has become a confirmed NO on the Dream Act.

Thanks, I found the other thread. My Dole info was a couple of hours old. I had just spoken with Warner and Webb offices. I'll keep up in the other thread and post if I get anything new.

OK good I was on this thread too then W said to follow April's led so we're over there. Also easier for me to update the list because I can edit easier.

I'm finished my emails for today. Whew. Now I am on my 2nd round of phone calls from a-z. My 1st call to Senator Akaka's office was great. His aide said she was getting an unusually large amount of faxes and phone calls against the Dream Act. The senator hasn't made a committment yet.
