Senator Reid will be moving the DREAM Act to a vote via an amendment to the Defense Authorization Bill
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.
TAKE ACTION NOW AND CALL IN SUPPORT OF THE DREAM ACT:
Dial: 1-888-254-8057
Ask for the following people and leave a message with their office.

------------------------------CALL AGAIN AND HAVE FIVE FRIENDS DO THE SAME THING.
The National Alliance of Latin American and Caribbean Communities (NALACC) has been supportive of the DREAM Act, either as a combo, or as a stand-alone piece of legislation, since our founding days in 2004. While NALACC recognizes the DREAM Act as a far from perfect piece of legislation, if passed, it would enable many young immigrants in the U.S. to be able to apply for legal permanent residency, and eventually for U.S. citizenship if so they wish. We are convinced that passing the DREAM Act would also contribute greatly to the future involvement of young immigrants in the struggle to truly fix, from head to toe, our broken, inhumane and wasteful immigration policy of today.
