What Just Happened?

On Thursday night Dec. 16, Senate Majority Leader Reid filed cloture on the Dream Act (H.R. 5281) setting the bill up for the critical "cloture" vote in the Senate expected on Saturday. The Senate will need 60 votes for Dream to move forward. With the House's passage of Dream last week, we are closer than ever to victory!

This is the vote we've all been waiting for. With only days left in the Lame-Duck, there won't be another chance. You must continue making calls and sending emails to all Senators to urge them to vote "yes" on DREAM when the Senate brings it up for a vote. A list of key swing Senate targets is included.

Click on the Take Action link to enter your zipcode, get the contact information for your Senators, and find useful talking points for your call.

All Offices Should be contacted, but if you live in these states, we REALLY need your support because one of your Senators is a SWING VOTE on DREAM!
