Harry Reid Promoting Repeal of the Military "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" Policy Started by President Clinton

by Kerby Anderson, Point of View: As early as tomorrow (9/20), the Senate will vote on the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. The Pentagon is currently conducting a study on the impact a repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell would have on the military. That report is not due out until after the election, but rather than wait for the report, the Senate leadership [Harry Reid] is pushing to move forward with the repeal of this policy, allowing homosexuals to serve openly in our military.

The repeal was a major campaign promise made by Obama to the homosexual community. This is one of many that the administration has had trouble delivering on despite having a majority in both houses of congress.

Please contact both of your US senators right away and let them know how you feel about the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. You can use the Point of View online system to do so quickly and easily. Please also encourage your friends to contact their senators as well. With the election right around the corner, many senators are feeling the heat and will be more receptive to input from their constituents.
