Big government Democrats are working hard to shove yet another unpopular, unwanted piece of legislation down the throats of taxpayers… this time in the form of the DREAM ACT. The Defense Authorization Bill will be voted on at 2:15 PM Eastern time on Tuesday, September 21.
The DREAM ACT will dramatically push up spending and increase the cost of higher education for every state. The increase is even more extreme for states with large illegal immigrant populations.
The bill forces states to give taxpayer fueled financial aid to illegal immigrants, forces states to allow illegal immigrants to take advantage of in-state tuition, and worst of all, there is virtually no accountability for the funding involved in the bill.
This is yet another outrageous bill pushed forth by Democrats and it must be stopped.

TOUGHER UNCOMMITTED TARGETS
– CAN YOU PERSUADE THEM?
Your first and most important phone calls are to the Senators above.
ACTION: The following list is of Senators who are on the fence. Emphasize the cost issue and that we just cannot afford any more spending when we don’t even have a budget for Fiscal Year 2011 yet!! Also point out that a controversial bill like this has no business being put inside a Defense bill, regardless of how they may feel about the DREAM Act itself.
