Vote for the DREAM
If you support the DREAM Act, now is your chance to help make the issue a priority in 2009.
On January 16th, Change.org will present its top 10 "ideas for change" to the Obama administration at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. The top 10 issues are chosen from Change.org's Ideas for Change in America competition, created in response to president-elect Barack Obama's desire to have more American people involved in their government.
In addition to the January 16th presentation, Change.org will also launch a national advocacy campaign behind each top 10 idea to help turn issues like the DREAM Act into policy.
Final round voting begins today and ends at 5pm ET on Thursday, January 15. You can vote for the DREAM Act online at Change.org. (Note: You'll need to do a quick registration if you don't already belong to Change.org. Once you confirm your e-mail address, you can vote for the DREAM Act. Your vote is confirmed when the vote count button changes to from "Vote Now!" to "Voted.")
The children of undocumented parents should not be punished by denying them a chance at legalization. This path to citizenship isn't a free ride: the DREAM Act requires that these children attend college or enlist in the military and show good moral character. Be the voice for these children. Vote now.

Thank you for writing about this! I support the DREAM Act, and I hope society continues to progress.
Thanks for showing your support for the DREAM Act. I support it too and would like to see it make change.orgs top ten ideas.
Thanks for letting us know about this!
What Jennifer McFadyen failed to tell you is that the DA will cause some U.S. citizens to be unable to go to college. It’s a horrible, anti-American bill:

24Ahead, unless you’re Sioux, Iroquois, or other first nation member you might not want to open up the whole “harm illegal aliens are doing to those of us here first” can of worms. That logic breaks down pretty quick for us white folk on this continent.
