To my DREAMers

The deadline to pass the DREAM Act is on January 5th. Harry Reid is
the majority leader in the senate, hence, it is up to him to bring the
DREAM Act for a vote. His numbers are; 775-686-5750, 202-224-3542,
775-882-REID (7343), 702-388-5020. For all of us, the DREAM Act is
ultimately, the only solution to our situation. We can go on
pretending we are normal college students, normal people, and that
education will set us free. Reality is knocking, and its ready to kick
you in the face. WE are your typical student, not we will never be. I
know all of us are afraid. Just by the look at our faces, by the way
we communicate. We have an opportunity to be a part of something
grand, bigger than our miserable little lives.

January 5th will come, the decision of our lives will be there. We
have to choose, either to wait or we act. We maybe be young foolish
adults, with no rational sense. See, but that's what makes us great,
our fearless nature to take up obstacles without hesitation, without
the thought of failure creeping up on us. Once, we ADF scholars
graduate then what? Go back to Mexico? Take a low paying job? Not
exercise our diploma that we spent countless hours to achieve? Our
parents left our home countries for a reason; violence, drugs,
poverty, you name it. What return to that unknown land with a degree
in your hand, and you think you will succeed. America is our home. So
lets fight for the DREAM Act, call all four of Senator's Harry Reid's
offices everyday until October 6th.

For if you are looking for a person to blame for your misfortunes, you
only need to look in a mirror. I know why we choose to be anonymous.
We are afraid. When we referred to DREAMers we say, them or they,
instead of I and me. Time does not wait for you to decide, it will
come, whether you are a part of the struggle or not. It will come,
don't be fooled. If the DREAM Act passes, or if it dies like it has in
the past, the sun will still rise.

Ask yourself what type of person am I; the person who will take a
stand, fight for my dreams upon insurmountable odds, and in all
likelihood failure, or the person who will sit. The things that matter
in life, take sacrifice, courage, tienes que ser atrevido. I know you
will most likely ignore this email, and it doesn't matter to me, fight
for yourself, don't fight for anyone else, fight for yourself. The
DREAM Act struggle is an opportunity to test your character.

PS. No one is that busy no take 30 minutes of your day to make four
calls, so stop lying. Either accept the truth or stop crying!!!!!!!!!
