Good News for Equal Rights (It's About Time!)

The night of the State of the Union address, our campaign had a watch party. A few of our volunteers and precinct captains got together and we watched President Obama address the nation. The president's speech touched on many of the issues that face our country - creating jobs, fixing the economy, passing health care reform and others. He spoke at length on these issues but I also vividly remember him bringing up the issue of repealing the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" law that bars openly gay men and women from serving in the US military.

I remember this so clearly because of the burst of applause and cheers from our watch party when President Obama said he wanted it repealed!

It's about time we finally got around to ending this discriminatory practice and let these patriotic Americans serve their country. In the most recent poll I have seen, about 60% of American's favor allowing gay Americans to serve!

I fully support these efforts to allow openly gay men and women to serve in our military. As the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staffs recently stated, it is not fair to force these men and women in uniform to "lie about who they are."
