The other day I wrote about how Barack Obama and the Democratically controlled Senate we planning to try to jam the DREAM Act through during the lame duck session of Congress (after elections but before newly elected politicians take their seats).I also listed the 21 Democratic Senators that are up for reelection in 2012, with contact information to email and/or call them to make sure they understand that we will remember in 2012 if they deliberately try to thwart the will of the people who voted an overwhelming victory in the midterms for the GOP.
Today The Politico writes that Senators are shaken and already worried about 2012.. as well they should be and their first test is coming up.
The 2010 campaign has so rattled senators up for reelection in 2012 that they’re already moving quickly to figure out how to survive.
First lesson they should have learned, in order to "survive" is to not go up against the American voters who have shown very clearly that they can and will remember being betrayed by politicians that are supposed to represent them even against the politician's own party.
Will they help Harry Reid and Barack Obama thwart the will of the people by helping them shove the DREAM Act down American's throats before newly elected Senators and Representatives have a chance to take their seats?

Barack Obama is also up for reelection in 2012 and if he allows Senate and House Democrats to slam the DREAM Act through during the lame duck session, well perhaps letting him know we are watching and will remember in 2012 is in order as well.

They can claim they are aware, they learned their lessons, they understood the message.. they can claim anything they want, but actions are louder and more telling than words and promises.
They should act accordingly and vote against DREAM Act during the lame duck session.
