DREAM Act Petition Organizers Predict Success

Organizers of an attempt to put the DREAM Act on the ballot in 2012 say they're confident they'll have enough signatures.

The petition drive has netted 25,000 signatures from people who want the chance to vote on whether illegal immigrants should be allowed to pay in-state rates for college tuition, said Del. Neil Parrott, a Hagerstown Republican leading the effort.

"We're very encouraged with where we are in the process right now," Parrott said Tuesday.

Parrott and his supporters need to have 18,579 signatures from valid Maryland voters by midnight on Tuesday to keep the referendum drive alive. They need to have a total of 55,736 signatures by the end of June.

Now we need a Petition for a re-count on Obama's votes that put him in office!
