Dream a little DREAM with me...
See an update on the status of the DREAM below.
The haters were defeated in the U.S. House yesterday, and the DREAM Act passed 216-198.
Today, the fight goes to the U.S. Senate, where the Republicans threaten a filibuster, and the Dems lack the 60 votes to invoke cloture.
I say, let them filibuster. Call their bluff. Let the GOP show its true colors, colors that sadly do not include "brown."
DREAMers need to sock it to the Senate phone lines. The Arizona Dream Act Coalition has all the phone numbers necessary, here. Let U.S. Senators John McCain and Jon Kyl feel the heat.
To watch Dennis Gilman's latest pro-DREAM video, check out yesterday's blog post.
UPDATE: As "guest" notes below, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid took a strategic step back today, and held off on starting the debate on the DREAM Act, as had been scheduled.
Even more reason to pound Kyl and McCain with phone calls, faxes, e-mails and letters. Don't let up. A spokesman for Reid told Fox News that the Dems want to bring it back up for a vote before the lame duck session is over. They better. To do otherwise would truly be lame.
