If you thought the fight to end Don't Ask, Don't Tell was finally over, think again.
We all thought it was a done deal when President Obama signed the repeal into law. But House Republicans pulled a stunt that could delay or even stop the repeal from taking effect by passing an outrageous series of amendments to the bill that funds our military.
We can't stay silent in the face of this new GOP push to turn back the clock on repealing Don't Ask, Don't tell.
Help the DCCC surpass their goal of getting 100,000 signatures to their petition supporting the repeal. We need to hold the House Republicans accountable for putting their radical social agenda ahead of keeping our military strong and our families safe.
Voice your outrage at House Republicans trying to turn back the clock on repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Sign our petition and then forward it to your friends and family.
When I served in Congress, it was an honor to sponsor and fight for legislation to finally end this discriminatory policy. As an Army officer, I saw firsthand how the policy forces patriots to lie about who they are just so they can defend the freedoms that make America great.
We could not have passed legislation to repeal this policy without your grassroots support. Now, we must keep the pressure on, by exposing the despicable tactics that the Republicans are using to stop the repeal from taking effect.
Sign our petition opposing the efforts being made by House Republicans to turn back the clock on repeal.
We've come too far. We must see this fight through to the end.
It's time to put Don't Ask, Don't Tell in the history books for good.
Patrick Murphy
