Senators have been hearing from supporters of the DREAM Act. (Thank you for your terrific response so far!) But the fate of the DREAM Act is still uncertain.
The DREAM Act will be offered as an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act. Tomorrow, Tuesday September 21, the Senate will vote on whether or not to proceed with debate on that underlying bill. The vote will likely take place early in the afternoon. If the Senate fails to proceed with debate on the Defense Authorization bill, there will be no vote on the DREAM Act.
Tell your Senator to support the DREAM Act by allowing the defense bill to proceed.
Please take one or more of the following actions.
