Ten things you can do for the DREAM Act

Originally posted on dreamactivist:

1. Pick up the phone and call your Senator or Representative today. Dial 202-224-3121 to be connected to your member of Congress and speak out in favor of the DREAM Act.

Sample message - "Hi, I am calling in support of the DREAM Act (S.729 / H.R. 1751). The DREAM Act lays the groundwork for immigration reform and allows immigrant youth of good moral character to make crucial economic contributions to the United States. To not pass the act at a time when this country needs an economic stimulus and a more educated workforce would be great folly. I urge _________ to become a cosponsor of the DREAM Act."

Please report back on how your call went.
