Tell Congress The American People Want "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" Repealed Now

The Issue

A CNN poll released May 25 finds that "Nearly 8 in 10 favor gays in the military." And yet, members of the GOP, while claiming they know and are acting on the will of the American people, are standing it our way. 

On Monday, Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN) speaking on DADT repeal, stated, "The American people don't want the American military to be used to advance a liberal political agenda. And House Republicans will stand on that principle." 

It's time to tell Congress, to stop acting against the will of the American people while claiming to act in the name of the American people.

Congress is slated to vote on repealing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" this week. Tell them to say yes to fairness and equality for all Americans, especially those willing to lay their lives on the line to protect the freedoms we all should be able to enjoy.

Tell Congress the American People want "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" repealed now.
