Are you ready?! I am not hallucinating

What is going on JIFM!

Ready? Are you really ready to read what you are about to?! One more thing before i go on... these news don't mean that we slack off in our fight. Today, now more than ever we should keep up the fight stronger than ever before.

So this is what i was holding on to until Monday because we were not supposed to post anything until Monday according to NILC. I got this mesage Friday, Friday the 18th but I had to hold on to the news until today.... I waited until 12 AM to post this.

Enough of this now... read below and go crazy, write your reactions so that we can read your reactions and love it:)

My reaction: Who hooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If we don't fight for our DREAM nobody else will!

Great news! This afternoon, a bipartisan group of Senators officially introduced the DREAM Act of 2005, giving new life to legislation that has been in a holding pattern since the beginning of the year.

The sponsor of the DREAM Act of 2005 is Richard Durbin (D-IL), and the lead Republican cosponsors are Chuck Hagel (R-NE) and Richard Lugar (R-IN). The other original cosponsors are Norm Coleman (R-MN), Larry Craig (R-ID), Mike Crapo (R-ID), Mike DeWine (R-OH), Russ Feingold (D-WI), Edward Kennedy (D-MA), Patrick Leahy (D-VT), Joseph Lieberman (D-CT), John McCain (R-AZ), and Barack Obama (D-IL).

It will become law if passed by both houses of Congress and signed by the President before the end of 2006.
