- 202-225-4695: “Please champion the DREAM Act as a stand-alone bill.”
After the Facebook group to get Loretta to sponsor the DREAM Act had its spectacular success, it morphed into a new page representing the next step of the campaign:
Senator Dianne Feinstein: Please champion the DREAM Act as a Stand-Alone Bill!
which sent out this urgent message this morning:
Hello everyone,
I hope you can all make it to the events happening today in front of Senator Feinstein’s offices in LA and San Francisco. http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=124753964230681&ref=ts
Yessica Ramirez, the DREAM Act student about to be deported will attend the action is San Francisco. Please visit and join the following FB page for more information on her case: http://tiny.cc/tr4fd
It’s very important to also call and make your voices heard.
Call Senator Dianne Feinstein- DC: 202.224.3841, LA: 310.914.7300 & SF: 415.393.0707
“I am calling to urge Sen. Feinstein to champion the DREAM Act, move it out of committee and help pass DREAM as a stand-alone bill immediately. I am also asking her to not deport DREAM Act student Yessica Ramirez and to call DHS urging them to grant deferred action to Yessica. We can’t allow this to keep happening, that’s why we need the DREAM Act as a stand-alone NOW!”
Also, please call Congressman Berman – DC 202.225.4695 & 818.994.7200
“I’m calling to urge Congressman Berman to champion the DREAM Act. As an ally he has been supportive of immigrant youth and we are thankful, but co-sponsorship is not enough. We need champions and Congressman Berman can do the right thing and help pass the DREAM Act as a stand-alone bill immediately.”
Thanks everyone and please forward this to all your contacts.

The DREAM Act, in case any of you have forgotten or are confused or never knew…
(wiki) The Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act (The “DREAM Act”) is a piece of proposed federal legislation in the United States that was introduced in the United States Senate, and the United States House of Representatives on March 26, 2009. This bill would provide certain illegal alien students who graduate from US high schools, who are of good moral character, arrived in the U.S. as minors, and have been in the country continuously for at least five years prior to the bill’s enactment, the opportunity to earn conditional permanent residency. The alien students would obtain temporary residency for a six year period. Within the six year period, a qualified student must have “acquired a degree from an institution of higher education in the United States or [have] completed at least 2 years, in good standing, in a program for a bachelor’s degree or higher degree in the United States,” or have “served in the uniformed services for at least 2 years and, if discharged, [have] received an honorable discharge.”
Vern I thought you are pro illegal aliens, if you take the innocent children and the high quality un-doc’s out of the equation, you are left with the bottom of the barrow scum. Who would want to offer amnesty to the worst of the worst?
First of all, Cook, nobody is pro-illegal aliens. I think it should be easier for good, law-abiding hard workers, which is the majority of immigrants, to become legal. So I am ANTI-ILLEGAL. Got that straight?
Two, you really make a jump there going from “innocent children” to “bottom of the barrow [sic] scum.” I believe you skipped 90%+ of the undocumented in that leap? Which you made a nod to with “and the high-quality un-doc’s.” So you sort of didn’t say anything.
But I know what you mean. The college-educated and military-serving undocumented youth who found themselves in this nation thru no fault of their own are probably the MOST sympathetic, and so the DREAM Act could take SOME of the air out of the sails of Comprehensive Reform. Maybe. I think that is actually the concern of some pro-immigrant legislators including possibly Loretta. MAYBE. I’ve been trying hard to get a straight answer out of her for several weeks on this topic an others.
I think two things need to be taken into account: The simple justice of the DREAM Act and all the good young people it will help immediately; and the fact that stoopid spineless Democrats need to do SOMETHING this year for Hispanics if they want them to have a reason to come out and vote for them! grrrrrrrrrrr……
no to the dream act . keep dreaming . i
Dianne Feinstein…
Worry about American students before you start worrying about foreign students!
You are elected by Americans, not by Mexicans!
Vern,
Check your information: there should be no “military-serving undocumented youth” unless they have very good phony documents to get into the military.
Larry,
As I understand it, they are allowed to join the military. I don’t know how the process works but I know that citizenship can be granted after their service.
No, You need a Green Card to join the US army, After two years you can apply for citizenship.
What is supposed to happen is that you go through the proper channels (like a lot of people) to get a Green Card and after serving two years you can apply for Citizenship.
So the Dream Act would allow a group of illegal Aliens to step over thousands over people who abide by immigrations laws and get their citizenship by the means of serving this country.
The Dream Act is pure discrimination PERIOD!
Shut up Quinn. Give it a rest for God’s sake.
whats wrong the other.. dont like someone with a different view . the correct one i may add to it .
