On Friday, December 3, Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown hosted a Holiday Fundraising party at an upscale hotel in downtown Boston. The event, open to Brown supporters at $100 a ticket, promised food, drink and musical accompaniment. It also provided an opportunity for over 70 Boston-based DREAM Act supporters to gather in solidarity to encourage Senator Brown to vote YES on the DREAM Act. United in holiday cheer, DREAMers braved the cold and marched for hours singing their requests for representation and support of the DREAM Act to Brown and his guests.
Sung to the tune of Jingle-Bells:
“Let us learn,
let us serve,
listen-up Scott Brown,
all we want is EDUCATION,
pass the DREAM Act, now!”
The DREAMers voices united in harmony, called Senator Brown to action. Let us learn, please Senator Brown, let us serve, vote YES on the DREAM Act!
The mood was convivial as supporters formed a picket line, singing, adorned with graduation caps, gowns and diplomas. Rally organizers distributed Christmas Wish-lists to event attendees, each list asking for Brown’s YES vote and his support for education so these students could follow their dreams: dreams to become doctors, nurses, teachers, social workers, and to economically contribute to this great nation.
Sung to the tune of We Wish you a Merry Christmas:
“We want higher education,
wanna serve in the military,
we want higher education,
so pass the DREAM Act!”
Senator Brown heard their voices on Friday, calling out in unison, for the DREAM Act.
Don’t let the momentum die. Please, add your voices to countless others by calling Senator Brown’s office this week and ask him for his YES vote on this monumental piece of legislation. It’s not too late to make a difference in the lives of countless, deserving individuals!
Be the difference, make the call. Let us continue to DREAM!
