White House Calls on Religious Leaders to Help Push DREAM Act Over the Finish Line

Fox News Latino ^ | December 15, 2010

... the White House is again pushing for final passage of the Dream Act, hosting a conference call with religious leaders who are hoping to drive the deal home before everyone on Capitol Hill heads home for the holidays...According to Fox News producers on Capitol Hill, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., does intend to bring up the DREAM Act during this lame duck session.

So, while lawmakers on the Hill scramble to get everything done, the White House put together another in a series of conference calls on the DREAM Act. Rabbi Jack Moline, from Congregation Agudas Achim in Alexandria, VA says he has been working the phones on this for a while. "I have both personally and publicly called on Senators Warner and Webb to support his act. They were on the fence for a little while," Moline admitted on the call. "Have we done enough? If we had done enough we wouldn't be having this call. It's one of the reasons we're having this call."

Heather Higgenbottom from the White House Domestic Policy Council said the president is working the phones, pushing senators to vote in favor of the DREAM Act whenever it does come up for a vote and also told reporters that Defense Secretary Gates has written to the sponsors of the act...to show his support.

And in perhaps a final appeal for senators to vote in favor of the DREAM Act, Dr. Joel Hunter from A Church Distributed in Northland, FL, implored senators to be fair in their vote saying, "...don't punish the kids for something their parents did."

Even though Reid plans on bringing up the DREAM Act, it's looking less likely there will be enough time for it to get through.

They will do as much damage as they possibly can in this session; it’s a political Jihad.

Dear Representative Bachmann,
I am glad you proved you care about the plight of the 22 million Americans who cannot find a job by voting against the DREAM Act amnesty. Thank you.

We both know the American people have great sympathy for illegal alien children who know no other country as home, but the DREAM Act would give eventual citizenship to young adults who have spent very little of their lives in the United States. DREAM amnesty recipients can then sponsor adult relatives of their extended family, including the people who initially smuggled them into the U.S. I am very glad you know these facts as well as I do. It is very unfortuante that the majority of your House colleagues do not know these facts.

Thank you for voting against the DREAM Act and please do all you can to convince your friends in the Senate to oppose this horrible bill.
An American for sovereignty,
Wobbly Bob

don't punish the kids for something their parents did

So you would rather reward the kids for their parent's illegal acts?

Or Franklin Graham.

Frnakle tells itlike it is.

For example, he stated Islam is EVIL.

There is no way in hell that a “religious leader” should agree to THIS. It violates our existing laws and helps to keep us SAFE.

“I think the stars are lining up, that DREAM is shot out.”

It’s not over with these people until Congress is out of session. Keep calling, faxing, emailing.

[nmh]

“Does that violate their precious “separation of church and state” rule? “

Of course NOT!

That ONLY applies to conservative churches.

If they are humanists posing as “religious” people,

then it doesn't apply. Heck they even have POLITICAL SPEECHES and calls for POLITICAL DONATIONS in the HUMANIST “churches”. If you are attending a conservative church, you can't do that. If you DO, then the conservative church will be audited and lose their tax exemption status.

This pathetic piece of trash calling on the Religious now he calls on them after what he has done to this country..You will still be kicked out come 2012..

Obama ‘07: Muslim Call to Prayer is One of “Prettiest Sounds on Earth” And he also went to the muslim

Now, let’s also go back to 2005 to June 23rd, a portion of Obama’s speech to the United Church of Christ’s 50th anniversary General Synod in Hartford, Connecticut, June 23rd, 2007. Look at me. Listen to this. This is Obama. “Somewhere along the way, faith stopped being used to bring us together and started being used to drive us apart. It got hijacked. Part of it’s because of the so-called leaders of the Christian Right, who’ve been all too eager to exploit what divides us. At every opportunity, they’ve told evangelical Christians that Democrats disrespect their values and dislike their church, while suggesting to the rest of the country that religious Americans care only about issues like abortion and gay marriage, school prayer and intelligent design.”

Because it IS a nightmare.

ILLEGALS with CIRMINAL records will get amnesty and all the social goodies that YOU will pay for.

[Wings-n-Wind]

Religious leaders should be preaching--

THOU SHALT NOT STEAL --
THOU SHALT NOT KILL --
THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS --

Oh I know for sure we will be screwed just like in 1986....that was another tragedy that is allowing for this to happen.

[LibLieSlayer]

These are dims... no rules remember?

LLS

[riri]

But the numbers are such, this time, amnesty is the death blow.

[LibLieSlayer]

“I have sinned”... yep... a real shyster.

[Let's Roll]

This is how they plan to get back in power.

The constitutional amendment we really need is one that says that no one who lost their seat in the November election can vote on anything during the lame duck session.

[LibLieSlayer]

Franklin Graham is a man of GOD!

I pray that our leaders will stay out of this and preach the ten commandments like they are SUPPOSED TO DO!

I didn't hear hardly any condemnation of the abortion bill (health care murder) and I want them to keep their traps shut on this.

When satan laughs, he isn't a jolly good guy and neither is this bill.

Of course it is a dream bill for Mexico and other third world countries as they have less of a problem if they can unload a bunch of unskilled persons on to this country, but how do we absorb them?

[lonevoice]

Excellent job on both this one, and the one to Weird Al. I’m going to borrow a bit from both, thank you!

[McGavin999]

Let's see, we just had another border patrol officer murdered. OK, let's let more Mexicans become citizens! That way we'll be murdered by our own citizens instead of Mexican citizens and they can declare the border wars over.

No border.....no border war.
