Day of Possibility
Today, the winds of change could come for a our soldiers. Seventeen years ago, President Clinton enacted the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy which put into law that no soldier could serve openly as a Gay man or woman. The senate has the power to vote to repeal and that vote is today.
We want to take this vote, and put it into a brief description.
To vote to keep DADT would be DISCRIMINATION.
To vote to repeal DADT would be JUSTICE
President Clinton stated a year ago while appearing on Anderson Cooper 360 that he regrets enacting that law. Exclusive here on EqualJunction.com, Clinton stated that in 1993, he was an old man, and he acted on old man views.
Yesterday, Lady Gaga stated “Equality is the prime rib of America,” she said, urging Sens. Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe to share “the greatest cut of meat that my country has to offer” with gays and lesbians in the military.
“Equality is the prime rib of America,” she said, urging Sens. Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe to share “the greatest cut of meat that my country has to offer” with Gays and Lesbians in the military.
To keep DADT, simply put, is keeping segregation alive. President Obama should have enacted a stop-loss order so that the military would not lose qualified, intelligent men and women who want to serve our country. Erasing DADT would be a step in the right direction.
WHAT YOU CAN DO WHILE THERE IS STILL TIME…
Please call your senators at (202) 224-3121 and make sure they support the REPEAL of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. Do it before tomorrow’s vote! Thank You
