Today - Thursday September 16th we have set a goal of doing the following:

- 10,000 calls in support of the dream act
- Recieving upto 100 new DREAM stories, so if you have yet to share yours please send it in now (ke...@dreamactivist.org)

Senator Reid will be moving the DREAM Act to a vote via as an amendment to the Defense Authorization Bill.

What does this mean?

It means that the DREAM Act still needs 60 votes to pass.  We still need 60 senators to say yes when it comes time for the bill to be attached to the defense bill.

What can you do to help?

We need calls right now. We need to flood offices with calls in support of the DREAM Act.   Currently we are being beat by anti-immigrants  10 calls to 1.  That  means for every 1 call you make in support 10 people are calling against the DREAM Act.
