Come find out how YOU can get involved with the passage of the DREAM Act!

Immigration is NOT a Latino issue.
The DREAM Act would grant these students, as selected by strict guidelines, a six year period of temporary residence in which they would be expected to complete two years worth of courses toward a bachelor's degree or two years worth of military service. If they accomplish one or the other, they will be granted citizenship.
Feel free to RSVP in the Facebook group and share with friends!

Where does healing begin?
In a land long considered uncivilized, an ill matched English couple try to make home. Inside, amidst the clink of glasses and Singapore Slings, there is another sound... the cry of a blood soaked teenage girl stepping out from the shadows; her body, an unstoppable force of a history that refuses to be forgotten.
Is that how you like me? Quiet?
