The holidays are upon us, and as we all gather with our loved ones to share and enjoy them I can’t help but think of how fast the year has flown by. It seems as if it was only yesterday when Obama was announced the winner of the 2008 Presidential Elections, or when in March 2009 DREAM Act was introduced into both houses. Yet as the year winds down there has been no change, no reform, no kept promises. The Immigration system remains broken.

As it currently stands, the US Immigration System offers me no clear path way to legalization. Reform is the only means for me to “get right” with the law. Well….there is ONE way…Marriage.

I’m taking initiative. I am biting the bullet! No sir! I am no longer going to wait for change, i am going to create it!

Thats right  fellow Dreamers and supporters, I am getting married! …well, I am going to start looking for a wife first.

Which is why I am proud to announce that today, December 25th 2009, I am officially launching the campaing for GIR 2010. Also known as Gabe Immigration Reform, GIR 2010 is a political movement led by me Gabe to push for my legalization thru the available means that US law provides me. Essentially I need to find a USC who will  fall in love with ASAP.

The language of GIR will be crafted as the days progress, but like in the US legislative branch we need two sides to agree. Her parents and Mine. then the executive branch  (a Judge) can sign GIR into law. Hey do you guys think Justice Sotomayor would be available to do a ceremony in June?

In the coming months the GIR Campaign will need YOUR help, so feel free to leave me comments for dating tips, words of encouragement (dating is hard guys), and even phone numbers of USC friends!

The organizing efforts for GIR will be documented on this site thru a series of video blogs, which will be updated every two weeks, with news on the status of the GIR legislation, progress on the movement, endorsements and of course  reports on dates.

Below is the first video, go easy on me I was a bit nervous, since it is my first grass roots organizing movement.

Lets work together to get me married!

***Disclaimer: The GIR Video Series is a satire on the current US immigration system, where one of the only legal pathways for a DREAM Act students would be through marriage. The person in the video is trying to seek marriage for legalization purposes in much the same sincerity as he is trying to win the Nobel peace prize by finding the cure for cancer, then win an academy award, and play in the NBA, in which case, would allow him to legalize under the circumstances of extraordinary talent. The person in this video is not interested in marriage but rather raising awareness at the ridiculousness of the broken immigration system.***
