DREAM Act: first priority!
Posted by
Matias Ramos
Here's what's going on. The folks at Change.org are organizing an online campaign titled "IDEAS FOR CHANGE IN AMERICA". People submit ideas and they go to a vote, with the top ten ideas presented to the Obama administration on inauguration day.
Needless to say, we want the DREAM Act to be a first priority for the Obama administration in 2009. DreamActivist started this as a petition, and it is now one of the most popular entries in the whole campaign. Regardless, we have to attract voters in order to remain at the top, and ensure that the national organizations like Change.org and their partners(Netroots Nation, VotoLatino, People for the American Way, Amnesty International, etc)understand what's at stake for undocumented students.
Get out the vote!

Amazing how this has taken off. Even the creator of the website, Ben Rattray, supports our cause. Go DREAM!
Right, also this is important not just because the idea will be presented to Obama but because Change.org/Myspace have promised to launch a national lobby campaign for each of the Top 10 ideas.
Rock it :)
