About this Petition Petition Letter

Former VP Dick Cheney joined a growing chorus of military and political leaders backing a repeal of DADT this weekend, saying it's time to "reconsider" the discriminatory law and that he doesn't want to "second-guess" the military. Sound familiar? John McCain said we should defer to the military, too. Tell him to stick to his word and back the repeal.

For years, Sen. John McCain said he'd follow military leaders like Gen. Colin Powell if they supported repealing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
Tell Sen. McCain to drop the political games and listen to our top military leaders’ advice on "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."

RE: Repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"

Dear Senator McCain:

You have often said you would listen to military leaders if they decided it was time to repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." Now the nation's top military leaders -- Gen. Colin Powell, Joint Chiefs Chairman Adm. Michael Mullen and Defense Secretary Robert Gates -- support repealing this discriminatory law.

I urge you to live up to your words -- and to the integrity of the office you hold -- and end "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."

Yours sincerely,

[Your name]
