Senate Vote Delayed – Keep Calling!

Categories:

December 9, 2010

by

Just a few minutes ago, the Senate passed a motion to table, or postpone, a vote on the Dream Act. This was done in order to allow the Senate to vote on the version of the Dream Act passed by the House last night so that the bill can proceed directly to President Obama’s desk after it is passed in the Senate. Although this delays the vote, we are confident that we will get a vote in the Senate within the next week and that we will be able to win enough votes to have a successful outcome. However, this will not happen without your continued and increased CALLS AND ACTIONS!

We want to thank Senators Reid and Durbin for working with us to help assure a successful Senate vote in the coming week. We want to thank House leadership from both sides of the aisle who stepped up yesterday to make the historic Dream Act victory happen. We urge continued bipartisan cooperation and leadership to win the Senate vote and make the Dream Act a reality.

We won an unprecedented victory in the House last night because of the work done by youth this year, who proudly declared themselves undocumented and unafraid. We will only be to win in the Senate if you make even more calls, work even harder and reach even further. But we are confident that together, we can win the Dream Act in 2010.

Keep calling!

Call the switchboard (866-587-3023) or use the direct number 202-224-3121 and ask for the following members:

Senate Democrats:

Conrad (ND)
Dorgan (ND)
McCaskill (MO)

YOUR CALLS CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE- ACT NOW FOR DREAM!

The vote on the Dream Act is expected to take place later this week in the House of Representatives, so we need to remind ALL of our New York representatives that we need them to stand up for immigrant youth and to vote YES on the Dream Act. Also, let’s get some calls going to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and urge him to put dream up for a vote as well as Maine Senators Snowe and Collins who are key Republican votes in the Senate needed to pass the Dream Act this year.

DREAM PHONEBANKING: Organize phonebanking parties with friend or community groups this whole week to call and urge Representatives to vote YES on the DREAM Act in the lame duck session. Don’t have an entourage? Call from wherever you are in your spare time- on the subway, between class and during lunch breaks. Its crunch time folks!

Representatives do count and tally every call they receive and are effective in pressuring elected officials to support the Dream Act. There are many opposition groups making these calls right now and we need to show them that there is support for the Dream Act and that we want them to VOTE YES on the Dream Act in the lame duck session!
