The Fight Isn't Over! Tell Holder: Don't defend "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"

The Fight Isn't Over! Tell Holder: Don't defend "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"

The Issue

Senate Republicans have blocked the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" – but the fight isn't over. Senate leaders have promised to consider the bill again after the election, and a federal district court recently ruled that "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" is unconstitutional.

If Attorney General Eric Holder agrees not to fight this decision, this discriminatory law could soon become a relic of the past.

The Justice Department may be our best hope to repeal this law – but we need your help to make sure the Administration gets the message. Sign the petition now!
