Huh? Are you just being pessimistic? Wasn't Senator Lugar supporting the Dream Act the last several times the measure failed?

Let's melt the phone lines folks.

since in 110th congress there were 49 republican senators, now down to 41, you can understand why i am a bit nervous. I am not trying to be negative. what was teh split of votes last time?

S.729
Title: A bill to amend the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 to permit States to determine State residency for higher education purposes and to authorize the cancellation of removal and adjustment of status of certain alien students who are long-term United States residents and who entered the United States as children, and for other purposes.
Sponsor: Sen Durbin, Richard [IL] (introduced 3/26/2009) Cosponsors (7)
Latest Major Action: 3/26/2009 Referred to Senate committee. Status: Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.

I think we need to ask why non-citizens can call our Senators and make this demand? LaRaza and DreamACTivist.org have mobilized their people--without any regard to whether they are citizenry or not--to lobby OUR US Congress. The US Congress is supposed to be free of foreign influence, unless they are appropriately registered under F.A.R.A.

US Congress does not represent any foreign nation---they represent the citizens of the US. The DREAM Act is specifically to the benefit of non-citizens.

the * are up for election in 2010

How many of these Senators are up for re-election?

On college visits with my oldest I've been giving an informational flyers to student conservative groups. In a nutshell,...

College costs increasing

Less financial aid available

American families struggling to pay for college

Dream Act - Will allow illegal immigrants to receive "in-state tuiton" and financial aid.
Should this happen, there will be less financial aid for you.

How do you feel about paying for illegal immigrants college tuiton, at the expense of your own?

Call your Senators and Representatives in Washington and demand they vote NO for Dream Act. (input your info here).



There are a lot of students who used to sympathize with the illegals who have now woken up. That was then, this is now and these college students vote. Let's make as many of them aware of this insidious and devious sham before it's too late.
