I support the President's call to repeal "Don't Ask Don't Tell" if our service men and women are fighting for our rights and freedom shouldn't we give them theirs?
I loved that CNN article. I really connected with a lot of the things in there.
Eventually, eventually... the archaic DADT legislation will be repealed. We must keep the pressure up until it is. I read about this org last week. Good job guys... as we say in the Navy "Bravo Zulu" for your courage and commitment.
I just joined the cause thanks to the info posted on HRC. We need equal rights for our fellow servicemen and women.
Controversial issues such as bringing an end to DADT may be put on the back burner in 2010. Find out why @ http://tinyurl.com/yg5mtfs.
Army Secretary McHugh Predicts Smooth Transition to Post-DADT Military
http://www.armytimes.com/news/2009/10...
"When asked specifically if lifting the gay ban would seriously disrupt the military, as predicted by those who oppose repeal, McHugh said there is no reason to think major turmoil would ensue."

Will be at the Orlando event on Sep 16th. Funny thing - I was just at the Plaza Theatre in Orlando for a Hot Tuna concert 1 week ago and amidst all the promotional materials in the lobby I did not see anything about this event. Found out about it tonight from HRC posting on Facebook. Have put the word out to others in Orlando.

Thank Jarrod for what you are attempting to do...Wish someone here in "Military City USA (San Antonio, TX) could see about bring "Don't Ask" down here.
Who do we need to talk too ? Thanks and God Bless all who have served and those who serve today.
just because ... Everyone has a right to choose the way they want to love and live.
thank you 2 every serviceperson who has defended me & our country. we are indebted to you forever. God bless you. i pray that our government provides the proper socia & medical services, etc. for which you are so entitled.
Hey, just wanted to let everyone know that even though the poll results for Rep Tauscher's move against DADT are great, the comment sectionfor the article is PACKED with "what'll they do to me in the shower" and "It's an abominayshun huh huh huh" comments...I love it when Leviticus rears it's head. I figure the more people that verbally jump-kick the knuckleheads on this board the better. I'm on as "SIGINTweenie," (which probably won't endear me to most of the readers...oh well)
I support 100% the repeal of DADT policy every american deserves the right to be equal and serve in our military openly and since about 69-75% of americans say they should serve openly I think now is time for congress and everyone to join the fight and repeal the "DON'T ASK, DON'T TELL POLICY'' and I think over time it will be pass shockingly.
