ACTION ALERT: Ask Rep. Cooper to Co-Sponsor DREAM Act!

Ask Congressman Cooper to Become a Co-sponsor Today!

The DREAM Act currently has 84 co-sponsors in the House and 22 in the Senate. Guess who’s missing from this list? Our Representative Jim Cooper [TN-5]!

Despite hearing testimony from immigrant student leaders last month, Rep. Cooper has not demonstrated leadership on this crucial issue. His staff tells us they aren’t hearing from their constituents about the DREAM Act. If that’s what's keeping Rep. Cooper from taking a stand, then let’s meet their demand!

Please call and email Rep. Jim Cooper this week to let him know why the DREAM act is important to you and your community. Urge him to co-sponsor the bill, and that you will be watching to see what position he takes on this issue:

Nashville office number:615-736-5295

Washington, D.C. office number: 202-225-4311

America is a country founded on the values of inclusiveness, shared responsibility and shared sacrifice. Our immigration policies must reflect our values. The DREAM Act should be part of any plan to restore America and the American Dream.
