Here's something from our friends in D.C. We're still waiting for the facebook pictures.

Graduation Dreams
We were caught between exhilaration and despair on Tuesday as we watched more than 500 young people in caps and gowns gather in a park a few steps from the United States Capitol. It was a graduation, but it wasn’t. There were awards, but no diplomas. And while there was talk of bright futures, the speeches were threaded with notes of impatience and defiance and made clear that those hopes were in no way assured.

Hi.
I'm a journalist and I'm working on an article about the Dream Act for a Web site that is to be launched this summer by The State of the USA (http://www.stateoftheusa.org/).
I think it's really important to personalize the story by showing the struggle undocumented students have and the need for the Dream Act. I was wondering if you would be available to talk with me over the phone about your struggles. I've talked to my editor and I'd only use your first name in the article in order to protect your identity.
Like I said, I think this is an extremely important part of the story in order for people to understand the problems undocumented students face. If you are interested or know of anyone who may be please contact me at jamolenaar@gmail.com or at 740-739-7217. I'd really, really appreciate your time. This is a story the American public really needs to know about.
Thanks,
