Some interesting comments on the Dream Act Forum. Apparently the Dems aren’t too happy about this being attached to a Defense Bill. While they want YES on the Dream Act, they want NO on Defense. Flip side of what we want!! Here are a few of their comments and a link:
^^RED ALERT!!!**DREAM ACT ON SHAKY GROUNDS***START TO CALL!!
Sorry to be so dramatic, but this is the reality....
I finally got in touch with the Legislative Assistant for Republican Leader, Senator McConnell. Will Dream Act come to the floor next week, or week after? That is Durbins plan. Will REPUBLICANS allow it?! That is another story. The Legislative Assistant has told me that Republicans offices have started taking a tally to see if there is enough support from us and others (CALLERS) to allow such a measure to be attached.. He said Republicans are NOT planning to block this Amendment but could attempt to *** IF*** there is no overwhelming support.. He said they have been bombarded with PRO Dream calls during the recess, but it has really subsided, and the other side has started making some noise..
SO Guys DoD bill is coming for a vote next week most likely with Dream.. Will making calls for the next several days kill you?! You need to call TODAY, FRIDAY, and ALL NEXT WEEK we have no clue which day/time Dream will come to the floor BUT IT will....I have been on this board for a while and im warning you! Yes you!
Dont complain and bitch to me next week if you see no mention of Dream at all on the floor next week, and you start to PM saying hey i thought Durbin told you in DC, Dream will be on the floor for sure?! But, he also told me to tell my people that i represent (YOU!) to keep calling with a vote being so close
Durbin said to my face we already have 45 Democrats...Whether we will get ONLY 15 Republicans, is up to you.. Do what you want, but dont complain next week when we are sitting here on the board moaning that Dream is not on the floor.. It would be fun listening and watching the vote next week would it be? Get to work NOW!!!
