IDEAS at UCLA
Online Actions:
Update: DREAM Act online actions: Take 2 minutes! The opposition(anti-immigrant conservatives) are taking their 2 minutes, let's out-number them.
Perfect for the winter break/holidays.
1. Change.org: Ideas for change in America Lobby Group
Change.org and Myspace have put together a campaign to submit the Top 10 ideas among voters to the Obama campaign as well as launch a national lobby for each of those 10 ideas.
The DREAM Act is currently ranked second here (http://www.change.org/ideas/view/pass_the_dream_act_now ) and has a great chance of being in the Top 10 ideas granted that we all vote now and again starting on January 5 for the second round. Registration only takes a few minutes; it is quick and painless.
If everyone could take 5 minutes out to vote for the DREAM Act and make themselves be heard, we could gain increased awareness and valuable allies in getting this passed in 2009.
2. Be part of the Buzz - Online Community
As you know there's already Buzz around the DREAM Act and CIR and what not. So in order to kick off a great national campaign we want to get the pre-work done.
