Take Action

I received this email notice from Equal Rights Washington - please take a moment and respond and forward to others - as Bobby Hill would say, "Do your job Mister!"

On May 11th hundreds of veterans went to Capitol Hill to call for the immediate repeal of the discriminatory “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell" policy. We need you to add your voice to this chorus of voters in support of allowing gay and lesbian military personnel to serve openly in the armed forces. Use the link below to send your congressional delegation an e-mail calling for the immediate repeal of DADT.

On May 10th the Gallup poll found that fully 70% of Americans support allowing gay and lesbian service members to serve openly in the military. So strong is the consensus among Americans for the repeal of DADT that even a majority of people who identify as conservatives and Republicans support repeal according to the Gallup poll. Use the link below to send your congressional delegation an e-mail calling for the immediate repeal of DADT.

DADT is a violation of civil rights. It is also bad policy. DADT has cost American taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars. Worse than that, qualified people have been drummed out of the military denying the armed services vitally needed human resources. This has reduced combat readiness.

Let’s use the power of social networking to build support for repealing DADT. Here is a sample post you can put in your Facebook update so that others can take action: I just asked Congress to repeal “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell." You can do the same using the link: http://eqfed.org/campaign/EndDADTtoday

Thanks for everything you do in support of equality.
