Don't Ask, Don't Tell: Lets finish the job now
If you are a veteran or a member of a military family, please join Iraq war veteran Rep. Patrick Murphy in signing this petition to U.S. Senate leaders before time runs out
With the U.S. Senate in lame-duck session, the clock is running out on on legislative repeal of the military's failed "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy -- perhaps for years to come.We need you to help Rep. Patrick Murphy finish the job. Sign our petition to Senators Reid, Levin, McConnell and McCain, to show them that the American public, including veterans and military families, stand firmly behind repeal of Dont Ask Dont Tell.
Rep. Murphy, a former West Point professor and Iraq war veteran, will deliver your signature -- and more than 600,000 other signatures collected by the Courage Campaign and VoteVets in favor of repeal -- during the lame-duck session of Congress.
If you are a veteran or are the member of a military family, please fill out the form on this page. (If that description does not fit you, please click here to sign the petition.)
Dear Sen. Reid, Sen. McConnell, Sen. Levin and Sen. McCain,
As veterans and military families, we respectfully write to request that the U.S. Senate schedule a vote immediately
on the Defense Authorization bill -- including repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"(DADT) -- before this session of Congress
ends in December. Were all in this together and it is time for the U.S. Senate to take decisive action to end this unjust policy.
Sincerely,
69,360 Americans -- including 12,462 veterans and their families -- have signed on in support (as of Tuesday, 12:57 p.m. PT). Please add your name now:
