Support the DREAM Act

from Dick Durbin, U.S. Senator

Over the past two weeks, more than 16,000 people have signed on as citizen co-sponsors of the DREAM Act at DickDurbin.com.

It's a great start — but I need your help, right now, to build even more public support for this important bill.

Thousands have shared it via Facebook, Twitter, and email, too. Please take a moment to continue spreading the word by clicking the headline.

I’ve always known that giving these great kids a fair shake is the right thing to do. And so do a majority of Americans, according to recent polls. Unfortunately, too many of my colleagues on Capitol Hill still aren't on board.

That's where you come in: The large and growing list of citizen co-sponsors at DickDurbin.com helps bring this issue into the public square, showing each one of my colleagues that the American people support the DREAM Act — and will be watching when it comes up for a vote.

Thank you for continuing this fight to keep the American Dream alive for our young people.

Sincerely,

Dick Durbin
U.S. Senator
