ONE MICHIGAN AND ALL DREAM ACT YOUTH ACROSS THE NATION ARE DEMANDING THE PASSAGE OF DREAM ACT.
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
PLEASE CALL SENATOR DEBBIE STABENOW AND TELL HER TO CO-SPONSOR THE DREAM ACT!!
In an act of civil disobedience at John McCain’s office in Arizona to urge the passage of the DREAM Act on Monday, May 17, 2010 three undocumented students were arrested, detained, and are now facing deportation. One of these students is Ann Arbor’s Mohammad Abdollahi, a twenty-four year old gay Iranian man who has been in the country since the age of three, but is not a legal citizen because of a financial mistake of twenty dollars. If Mohammad is deported to Iran, he faces possibly execution. Mohammad put his life literally on the line for the thousands of undocumented youth in this country who find themselves in a position similar to his in that they face being thrown out of the country they were brought to at a young age and call home – all because of a piece of paper. He did it to urge this nation to wake up and Pass the DREAM Act NOW!
Help us by flooding Senator Stabenow’s office with calls urging her to co-sponsor the DREAM Act.

“Hi, my name is _________ and I am calling in support of the DREAM Act (S.729). The DREAM Act lays the groundwork for immigration reform and allows immigrant youth of good moral character to make crucial economic contributions to the United States. To not pass the act at a time when this country needs an economic stimulus and a more educated workforce would be great folly. I urge Debbie Stabenow to become a cosponsor of the DREAM Act.”
