It’s time to end “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”

This week, the Senate Armed Services Committee, a committee on which I sit, will be marking up the annual, must-pass Defense Authorization bill, and some of my colleagues and I will be submitting an amendment to include the full repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” If our amendment passes, the likelihood of repeal this year increases dramatically.

But I need your help, because it will be a very close vote.

Please sign my emergency petition to the Senate Armed Services Committee in support of the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” right now, before the Wednesday deadline!
