"I am culturally an American, and, more specifically, I consider myself a Southern Californian," Tran told a House subcommittee during her testimony for the DREAM Act in 2007. "I grew up watching 'Speed Racer' and 'Mighty Mouse' every Saturday morning."
Tam Tran (27) was doing a PhD in American Civilization at Brown University when she was tragically killed in a car crash last Saturday. She hoped that the country where she had resided for more than 20 years as a law-abiding, tax-paying student would consider her an American at-long last through passage of the DREAM Act.
Her dreams never came to pass while she was alive but we can still make them a reality. Please sign on to request posthumous citizenship for Tam Tran and her family. She deserves nothing less for her service to this country.
Due to the sensitivity of the situation, this petition is collecting signatures that representatives for Tam will print out and take to specific targets.
