A vote is days away!
Now is the time for DREAM.
This week a vote will be scheduled on the DREAM Act.
This is our only chance to pass immigration reform this year before the new Congress is seated. Our enemies have been flooding Congress with phone calls, and we need to show them that we’re still in this fight.

All you need to make a difference in this fight is a phone. We’ll connect you directly to your senator, so that you can tell them in your own words why the DREAM Act matters.

Time is running out, and every voice counts.

Our next fight: DREAM Act now

Pass the DREAM Act
We’ve waited long enough
We always knew that our fight didn’t begin – or end – on Election Day.
Two weeks ago, we stood up all over the country for what we believed in. We showed Congress where we stood, and how powerful we are. Now it’s time to remind them of what we want. 

Before the election, Harry Reid promised that he would put the DREAM Act up for a vote before the end of the year. Nancy Pelosi wants that vote to happen. It’s up to us to show Reid and the rest of the Senate that our movement isn’t going to wait.

We have waited long enough to reform our broken immigration system. Pass the DREAM Act during the lame duck session this year.

Passing the DREAM Act would be a clear sign from Congress that they’re willing to work with us moving forward. It’s time to stand together and show the policymakers in DC what we’re made of.

Thank you,

Undocumented Mexican immigrants are searched while being in-processed at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), center in Phoenix, Arizona. Thousands of mostly Hispanic immigrants will march in US cities Saturday to press for immigration reform and condemn Arizona's controversial new immigration law, organizers said. 28 out of 33 Recommendations for ICE Changes Have Been Overlooked 

The OIG report shows that ICE talks about its priorities, but doesn’t have actual mechanisms to meet them by measuring progress or ensuring compliance. READ MORE

Meet Senator Daniel Webster ******


Mr. Webster like so many of his fellow Republicans seems to be apart of the repeal replace and eliminate social services like Tchers,Police,Firefighters group if they gain control of Congress …below is from his official website …

Sanctity of Life

  • As affirmed in the Declaration of Independence, the right to life is our first right.  Daniel Webster would support legislation that the Constitutional protections of life and liberty extend to the unborn.
  • Dan would oppose any use of public revenues to promote or perform abortions or to support organizations that promote or perform abortions.

Immigration

  • The greatness of America is based on the American dream– liberty and opportunity, a dream that is made possible by the laws of the land.  Condoning illegal immigration through amnesty or allowing it through passive enforcement destroys the very values that attract immigrants to our nation.
  • Fixing illegal immigration starts by securing our borders and strengthening existing penalties for people entering the country illegally.  The federal government must remove incentives for illegal immigrants and strengthen penalties for employers who hire them.
  • While immigration is a best treated as a federal issue, Daniel Webster supports the right of states like Arizona to enact such laws as necessary to protect their state.

Second Amendment

  • Endorsed by the NRA with a lifetime A+ rating.
  • Daniel Webster believes in the individual, Constitutional right to keep and bear arms and will strongly oppose any attempt to curtail, tax, or impede the free and robust exercise of that right.

What’s next?

On Tuesday, the Senate had the opportunity to move forward on the DREAM Act as part of the defense authorization bill. Instead, Senate Republicans blocked the debate from even starting. Not a single Republican senator was willing to stand up for the DREAM Act.

You worked hard to get us to this point. You’ve sent tens of thousands of faxes to your senators on the DREAM Act. This week alone, you’ve made over 43,000 calls into Congress to tell them to support the DREAM Act as a step towards comprehensive immigration reform. Your power got us to this point. This fight isn’t over, and it’s thanks to you that we’ve gotten this far.

Now we know who’s standing with us – and more importantly, we know who’s standing against us.

The senators who stood in the way of the DREAM Act and immigration reform this week have shown that they’re not willing to work with us. It’s time for us to show them where we’ll be standing this Election Day.

Make your voice heard on Election Day.

It’s important that everyone who can vote shows up to the polls on November 2nd. It’s the best way for us to show the politicians and bureaucrats the power of our movement. Some of them recognize our power and have stood up for what’s right. And some have decided they want to ignore us. This Election Day, we must show them all what we’re capable of by turning out to vote in record numbers. Only when they see us voting will they hear our voices.

Click here to make sure you’re ready to vote on November 2nd.
