Help promote the repeal of Don't Ask, Don 't Tell

With  only a few weeks left until the Senate's lame-duck session ends, the clock is running out on on repeal of the military's failed "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy -- perhaps for years to come.

The Courage Campaign is asking us to help Rep. Patrick Murphy finish the job. With the lame-duck session starting today, I urge you to sign its petition to Senators Reid, Levin, McConnell and McCain immediately.

Rep. Murphy, a former West Point professor and an 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 actively in the military, a vet or a member of a military family, please go to this page to show your support:

If not, go to this page to sign in support of our troops:

Thank you so much!

I wonder if I would qualify as a military family member now that I'm divorced.

I would think so . . . I would imagine the point is that you have had experience as part of a military family, so can "speak from within."

I don't know how I hadn't already signed it, but I have now.
