Hi United We DREAM friends,

Despite what you may have heard (even from us) the DREAM Act remains very much alive and well.

As you know, Senator Durbin had planned to offer the DREAM Act as an amendment to the DoD authorization bill this week, and we have been trying to keep a stiff upper lip as the days of debate on the bill passed and the prospects for a DREAM Act vote dimmed. As of this morning, we despaired that it would get a vote, though we still held out a sliver of hope.

But you kept working, and calls continued to come in to Sen. Reid and other Senators, and students continued to lobby on their own behalf. And Senator Durbin refused to give up.

To his lasting credit, Senator Reid listened. Earlier this evening,he went to the floor to lament the fact that some Republicans had blocked the DREAM Act vote the DoD Authorization bill. But he did not stop there. Rather, he pledged that it would get a vote vote by mid-November. That is very unusual, almost unprecedented for a bill such as this. Obviously, the DREAM Act still has to win that vote, and it has to move forward in the House as well... It has a long to go before becoming law.

But this is a huge deal. The DREAM Act has come a long way in recent months. What Senator Reid did is a recognition of the fact that it is now a top-tier issue, one that cannot be ignored. You did that. You should all feel proud.

Reid came out and lamented to get us and them off the phones. These people are in la-la land.

What else could Reid say??? It's a sorry state of affairs when this man comes out and laments that the American people won. It's a low when a man of his stature acts like the American public is his enemy and vows to fight against them. It's despictable!
