The votes came in 2 hours ago. We won. The Dream Act is dead, moot, at least for now.

Great news! However, as you stated "dead, at least for now". The vote was 52-44...they only needed 8 more votes...too close for comfort!
Continue to contact your elected officials!

Last I heard Reid was trying for a compromise and he hinted about H1B visas. I'll wait to see the results of that.
However, I agree it was good news. Mind you, they could have drafted a bill that would have passed, in my opinion. I am still thinking about why they didn't seem to want to do that.

Yeah!
Princess of the Realm - you can find such a list though the www.NumbersUSA.com website. They keep track of it all and you can fax your senators and representatives through them very easily. They also have the phone numbers for all of them if you wish to call them.

My representatives, the embarassments that they are, voted for it.
the well-named Dick Durbin, and Barack "follow the leader" Obama.
I want them to quit so badly.

The people have spoken. AGAIN. Thank goodness our representatives are listening to their constituents.

We must still remain vigilant.
