The Senate pushed off their planned Wednesday vote until today. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid attempted to hold a vote on the House-passed version of the DREAM Act rather than proceeding to the Senate version (S. 3992) today. But, he was denied consent to do this, so instead, he offered a motion to table (to kill) his own motion to proceed to the Senate DREAM Act, which was agreed to by a vote of 59-40 (Senate Roll Call 268). This means that a Senate vote on the DREAM Act has been further delayed, and it will not occur this week.

We believe that Sen. Reid motioned to kill his own vote because the Senate did not have the votes to pass it.

THANK YOU!

Your phone calls were so important this week and we thank you for flooding Congress' switchboard. Your calls have stalled the advancement of the DREAM Act amnesty!

We will continue to alert you to any future developments on this legislation in the next week.
