Piolín delivers one million dreams

The Dreams Across America tour - which was organized by the Catholic Church, unions and community groups - is well under way and is set to end on June 19th with a rally in Washington, DC. In advance of the rally, Eduardo "Piolín" Sotelo is delivering one million letters encouraging legislators to pass immigration reform that includes a path to citizenship. From the San Jose Mercury News:

In the spring of 2006, Sotelo and Coello used their popularity to rally hundreds of thousands of people to march for reform in California and across the nation.

Now Sotelo is collecting letters asking for a path to citizenship for the country's approximately 12 million illegal immigrants. He's broadcasting his appeal from cities along the way, and expects to have about 1 million letters by the time he gets to Washington today.

"If someone's already proved they're working hard for this great nation and for his family, and he's proved he's a good human being, why not live legally here in this country?" Sotelo said. "We're waiting for a positive answer from our senators."
