Dems helped undercut Dream Act

As I understand the way the newspaper business works, your paper comes up with the headline for those stories you choose to publish. Page A3 on Sunday had the headline, "Republicans block Dream Act." Reading the story, the reader discovers the bill failed by five votes.The majority of the half-page article wailed about how unfair it is to the young people it was intended to help and included quotes from several students and others who were in favor of the bill. Not until the last paragraph or two were we told that three Republicans switched over and voted for the bill while five Democrats voted against the bill. Since the bill failed by five votes, how can you say the Republicans blocked the bill? Seems to me that the Democrats killed the bill and deserve whatever blame your editorial stance wants to assign. - Ronald Maty , Chandler
