Urgent -- Vote on DREAM Act Today

I understand that the bill was defeated by the Reps and 2 Dems. It didn't come to cloture.

They want every item voted on seperately, as it should be.

I think Dems were looking for an issue before the Nov election. Something they could throw at the Reps. You know the Party of NO. Well thank god they actually are the party of NO in this instance and Kudo's for those Dems who stepped up to the plate.
 
Can someone, ANYONE explain to me WTF this bullshit DREAM Act is doing buried in a defense budget bill?
Because it would never pass on it's own.

It is very infrequent that I can say this, but I feel very lucky to have had the Republicans (plus two Dems) to stand in opposition to this sham. DADT and the DREAM Act should be voted on based on their own merits and not shoved into the ass of a defense fudning bill.

This will accomplish two things. First, it would make the DADT and Dream Acts legislation stand on their own and be voted upon on their own merits, and secondly, we can actually see WHAT is truly considered "defense" funding and see where cuts can be made there.
