Somebody should let the tea party know of this in case they are not aware.

I got this response from Roy Beck at Numbers USA.

According to this page from Congress there are NINE bills listed as the DREAM Act. Does anyone know how to read Congressese and tell us what the disposition of these bills is?

New Roy Beck:

Only one matters -- the one that passed the House last week and which was defeated in the Senate today. Thousands of bills are just left on the shelf every two years when a Congress ends. That is where all those other DREAM bills will die.

Thank you.
It looks like this was much ado about nothing. My apologies to all.
Please lock this thread and remove it from Breaking News.
