Dream Act 2010 HR 5281 FAIL TO PASS

---

The Dream Act 2010 or a.k.a HR 5281 was voted by the senate on Dec 18 2010 at 10:30 am EST on C-SPAN2. With the hopes of many undocumented children on the line, many of the senators (Dubin, Reid, etc) spoke out for them. In the end, the voting occurred. One by one each senators' name was called to vote I or Nay. At the start all the Democrats seem to be in favor of the Dream Act. Also some Republicans like Murkowski, Lugar, and Bennnett was in favor of the Act. But then Democrats like Ben Nelson, Collins, Baucus, and Tester voted no and so the Dream Act was doom. With votes of 55 YEA to 41 NAY, the Dream for many died that moment. We had become the country that was in favor of punishing the children for their parent's wrong doing.

If all the Democrats supported the Dream Act and gotten help from some Republicans the Dream Act would have succeeded. Why the hesitation? Whats wrong with the Nay sayers? Are they willingly to deport so many of the brightest kids out to other countries? What is the point of bringing in workers from other countries into U.S when the very skill workers needed was right here in the U.S.
I for one wish everyone would call their Senators. Write Emails. Why do they oppose a this bill? Its not Amnesty, when the act only gives right to the undoc children who did nothing wrong. Its not a free pass. When considering that it takes FIVE YEARS and service to U.S Army or attendance to 2 yr college to be allowed citizenship. This BILL does not give the undocs parents any legal right to stay in U.S. So why are they so oppose?

My hope is that senators Dubin and Reid take another take on the Dream Act. With this bill, new citizens will rise and many of American heart can take their place among the American of the whole.

Dec 2010 Drama Mary Stayed Out All Night

Mary Stayed Out All NIGHT

Plot:
Korean Actress Moon Geun Young (Known for My little Bride, Innocent Step, etc) is back as Wi Mae Ri (Pronounce MARY). A sweet, honest girl who is born to a father who is a bad business man with too much debt. Like any typical love drama she finds herself with accidental encounter with a guy name Kang Moo Kyul (played by Jang Geun Suk) that starts out forming relationship through misunderstanding and obligations. If her life wasn't complicated, she comes to find out that she has a informal marriage obligation set by her father to Byun Jung In (played by Kim Jae Wook).

REVIEW (SPOILER ALERT!): The first two episodes I watched really showed me how much Moon Geun Young is a capable actress. At first when I saw her with that long curly hair, I thought "Oh Great! Distraction." I really hate it when Korean drama tend to impress audience through props and fancy clothes to hide the actors/actress skill. However, Moon Geun Young's style really show. The sound of her voice is appropriate with her new look and the honestly of her character is portray by her subtle pauses and manner.
This is in contrast to the character Kang Moo Kyul. No offense to Jang Geun Suk, I like his acting on the drama "You're Beautiful." His mean demeanor-yet touching character really told the audience he cared for the protagonist (Park Shin Hye-who I found really wrong for the part). But in this drama he is suppose to play the loyal/lonely/hard to trust/mysteries character. At first you can see his devotion to his band when he pays off the violation fee to his manager to stay with his band. But when it come to him and Moon Geun Young I did not feel the conflict of trust. The whole chasing scene where Moon Geun young goes to get his signature to avoid suing her, was lacking. The only part where you see his "hard to trust" was when he told her blatantly he never sign anything because people messed with him in the past. Where is his reluctance? I only find him appropriate for this part base on his looks, long hair, and sheek clothes.

You should expect from this Drama a "Love Square." There is another male actor Jan Wook Kim as Jung In Byun and another female actress Hyo Jin Kim as Joon Seo. Basically

Wi Mae Ri -LIKES-> <-LIKES-Kang Moo Kyul Wi Mae Ri -WILL COME TO TRUST-> <-WILL COME TO LOVE- Jung In Byun Jung In Byun -Curruent Interest-> Joon Seo
Joon Seo- Currently Love-> Kang Moo Kyul
In the end the basic come to realization to love by protagonist (Wi Mae Ri) is expected.

SHOULD YOU WATCH IT? (1 Bored to distract thoughts of suicide-10 Must watch & Avoid Sleep)
YES - score of 7. Basically you should watch it but only if you have some free time.

COMMENTS BELOW TO TELL ME MORE DRAMAS TO VIEW

Dream Act 2010

Dream Act 2010

Senator Harry Reid pushed the vote for Dream Act for next week. He hope this will give the Pro-Dream Act voters to try to gain more Senators on their side. They need 60 votes to pass the Bill. The Dream Act, when pass, will allow ONLY those illegal immigrant under the age of 30 (also came to U.S under the age 16) to gain rights to stay in U.S. This is a great way to help those who came to U.S as children and who had done nothing wrong. This bill does not reward the children but give them the chance to live the normal life that many American children take for granted. Like Loans for School, the rights to Drive, open a bank account, pay taxes, work, etc..
Many opponents of the bill feel cheated by this Bill. But their main point is that the law is being broken by allowing the Dream Act to pass. This is not the case when considering the illegal immigrants are children who came unknowingly by their parents into U.S. Where does the blame fall... the driver (Parent) or the passenger (child) when the car hit another vehicle?
Also the so call "Mother's of America" claim that the Dream Act burden the American Tax payer and will take Jobs from Americans. Instead by passing the Dream Act, it will help increase the U.S budget as many of these kids as require by the bill to attend 2 years of college (without FEDERAL GRANTS), pay taxes, and do not commit any unlawful acts for 5 years to qualify for Dream Act. Umm...giving these kids rights will also not help those lose their jobs when they already do not have jobs. The unemployment rate is up 10%. Instead these ambitious children will most likely create new jobs. As many are top students.
SO PASS THE DREAM ACT. TELL your Senators to vote and get the needed 60 votes.

P.S. For those Opponents who keep shouting AMNESTY! Remember what the definition is. AMNESTY is giving guilty party innocence. The illegal Children are not guilty of anything but being born from wrong doing parents. Also this bill does not allow the Children to help their undocumented parents, relatives, and so on who are already living in U.S. By U.S definition the parents cannot be come to U.S for at least 10-25 years once deport it.

2 Drama to Watch 2010

The drama that is a must watch for 2010

My Girlfriend is a NineTail


A Korean drama about a nine-tail fox trying to be human while at the same time falling in love with an arrogant man. Funny, cute, and little sad at times. Lee Seung Ki,Shin Min a,No Min Woo,Park Soo Jin,Sung Dong Il








Playful Kiss

A Korean Drama remake of a anime "It started with a kiss." There have been another variation of real live action on Chinese Drama (on the right->). Playful kiss try to stick with the same story, with minor variation. Basically, a girl try to confess to the one guy who is out of her league. She gets rejected, but due to fate she end up moving in with the guy. The forces that work to bring them together is funny and at the same time frustrating to watch. The cast is great and unique. Watch it if you never seen the Anime or the Chinese Drama. If you seen the Chinese Drama "It started with a kiss" you might be little disappointed. However, if you have nothing better to do, give it a shot.

What happen to Katy Perry?

Katy Perry made an appearance on Sesame Street. However, due to her "provocative" clothing, the producers decided not to air her singing duet with Elmo. The video is not aired on t.v but you can view it on such sites like Youtube. But do not get your hopes up. There really is nothing to get all worked up about. Its not like Katy Perry is showing off her ample cleavage. I mean look at some clothes that Lady GaGa wear on her music video. But I can understand why the producer might see this as a problem due to the fact its air to mainly little children. The only thing I can say is that the producer might have missed a chance to grabbed the attention of older audience:)

Ending Survival

Ending Three Farewell:

Sarah stares at Jordan, Kevin, and Rev standing in front of her. The sound of the monstrously hordes banging on the other side of the door. Rev turns and smiles at her. The smile was different from those she has seen in the past. This time the smile of assurance made her tremble.

“Go...we’ll be right behind you” said Rev still putting up his smile.

Sarah shook her head. Her heart was torn at what she understood.

Jordan turned a little. His face half cover in blood. His eyes wondering around, as if trying to keep focus.

“What you waiting for kiddo? You better hurry and get going. Like Rev said…we’ll be right behind you”

Then Kevin took off his watch. He hand the watch to her. Trying his best not to look at her eyes.

“I don’t want this thing being a burden to me while I run after we do what we have to do. Take good care of it will ya. You know how much it means to me.” Kevin looked away as quickly as he gave her his watch. He stared straight at the banging door in front of him.

Rev leaned and put his hand on her shoulder.

“We’ll come back…that is why there is no need for us to say goodbye. Right?”

Sarah nodded.

“When this is over we’ll celebrate like we use to” Rev said it as his smile slowly faded.

Jordan gave a chuckle. “Yeah kiddo…Drink all we want and look at the stars, remember”

Kevin couldn’t help but cry. His tears forming in his eyes, trying to hide them from Sarah as if they were his personal treasure. However, Dana knew what at happen without seeing him. Her heart also cried out, but held it deep. She had to. She wanted to be there for Sarah.

Sarah understood the situation. Even if she was young, she understood. Especially what those three people she came to love wanted to say, but could not. They wanted hope and wanted Sarah to believe that there was hope. So she denied herself the reality and let her innocence take hold and let ignorance cover her mind.

“You promise…you’ll be right behind me.” Sarah said without looking away from Rev’s eyes.

“Yeah…right behind you” Rev said.

Dana took Sarah’s hand and she pulled Sarah away. Sarah tries to take a last look at them and then turn and ran with Dana. Sarah could not help counting her footstep. Counting as if they were her lifeline to them. The more she counted the more she wanted to stop.. Somewhere deep in her mind she heard herself say “They’ll come right behind me…Don’t forget…we…didn’t say goodbye!” and that thought kept repeating in her.

However, she saw them. Saw through those monsters. The infection had allowed her to. The three men who became her protectors, her friends, and her family. They had opened the door and fought through them. Jordan with his unusual strength even with his wound pushed through them. Kevin’s tears were now visible to her. She remembered Jordan commenting how a person like Kevin ever lasted in prison with such a cowardly heart. However, she knew then. It was his huge heart that was allowing him to face his fear. He wasn’t afraid of death. He was afraid of saying goodbye as she was. Then she saw Rev. His face in agony. Both him and Jordan leaning against one another. She wanted to yell at them, that it wasn’t over. That they had to come back. Then she heard the monster she was looking through scream. She was trying to will the thing to stop. However, all she could do was look. Its claw swept across Jordan’s chest. Rev plunged a tool into the monsters side. Rev try to help Jordan, but the monster then clawed Rev’s back. His agony filled Sarah’s mind.

“NO!” was all Dana heard her say. Dana turned and picked Sarah up. Sarah stared blindly at her.

Then Sarah saw Jordan in front of the monster and stabbed it. Sarah stared into Jordan’s eyes. His composed eyes soon closed slowly and he fell. She tries to will the monster to look down, but it then turn to Rev. He was on the other side of the hall. Using the wall as support.

“Uuhhaaah!!!” Rev streamed.

He rushed into it and both the monster and Rev fell. Then she saw Kevin upside down. The monster was staring at him on the floor looking up. Kevin seemed to hold onto something. She then heard Rev yell “Light it!”

There was a flash and the monster got up and attack Kevin. Sarah tries to turn her mind off. However, it was too late. She saw Kevin’s eyes look at her. But they were not his usual bright eyes. They were empty, quiet, dark. Then the monster turns. It was staring at Rev. The monster took a step and fell. It look down and so did Sarah. She saw a huge iron pole sticking out. Then she heard other monsters. Then for a second she saw Rev fall on the ground. The monster was also on the floor. It stared at Rev and Rev stared back at it.

“I’m sorry…Sarah…if you can hear me…I’m sorry…the stars…I…”

Then Rev’s eyes closed. Sarah stared at him.

“No! AHHH!! NO!!” Sarah screamed.

“You promise…YOU PROMISE!”

Her voice carry all through the compound. Dana did not have to ask. She knew. She wanted to also scream. Scream to let the pain subside even a little. However, she knew she did not have time. Not now. She grabbed Sarah and made her run. They did not have time. No time to grief, no time to complain, she just hoped enough time for them to escape.

The compound exploded. The monster’s scream covered in the blast. Sarah and Dana looked at the explosion from the hill top. The flames roar up and down. Sarah tightens her gripped on Dana’s hand. Dana looked down at the young girl. She knew how Sarah felt. She felt the same and knew no words to comfort her or herself. They both stare at the compound. It was over. They had survived, but to what they wondered. The family they had once known was now divided. Sarah moved her free hand and felt no one beside Dana next to her. Dana also felt no one beside her except Sarah. They both understood what they had lost. The open space will never truly be filled, but over time… maybe they’ll get use to the empty space and say goodbye to their pain.
