Update at Noon: Vote postponed for the lame duck session. This means we have at least 2 more weeks to find more votes for the bill. Meeting this Tuesday, 7 PM to discuss action steps to push Lugar. Zion UCC, 715 E. Wayne Street.
Update at 10:40 am: There is a small chance that the cloture vote will be postponed until the lame duck session. This gives us a few more days to keep pushing the calls into Lugars office. Lugar is using the tax cuts has an excuse for not being on board. We need to flood his office with calls and remind him of the House vote and his previous support for the DREAM Act.
Great job everyone in helping pass the DREAM Act in the House. It was an historic vote and your calls helped ensure the message got to Members of Congress what this bill is really about. Now the fight continues in the Senate where we need 60 votes and are a few shy as of today. Lugar is on the fence and your calls will be key in helping move Lugar.
