Don't Ask, Don't Tell Policy

Dear Representative,

We feel that it is necessary for the continued security of the United States, as well as our image abroad, that the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy be lifted.  This policy has lead to discharges accross all four services of personelle of vital importance, including intelligence perosonelle.  This policy precludes a lart segment of the American population from service, and can be considered backwards when compared with allied nations such as the United Kingdon, Canada, Australia, Isriel, and many others.
