Don't Ask, Don't Tell: Let’s finish the job now
If you are a veteran, active-duty servicemember, 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 Veterans Day coming up on Thursday and only a few weeks left until the Senate’s lame-duck session ends, the clock is running out on 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 “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell.”
Rep. Murphy, a former West Point professor and Iraq war veteran, will deliver your signature -- and nearly 600,000 other signatures collected by Courage in favor of repeal -- once Congress is back in session.
If you are a veteran, an active-duty servicemember, 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. It is time for the U.S. Senate to take decisive action to end this unjust policy.
Sincerely,
33,747 Americans -- including 6,474 veterans and their families -- have signed this letter (as of Friday, 2:42 p.m. PT). Please add your name now:
