Dear Friends: It's time to end the ban on lesbians, gays and bisexual individuals in our country's military - and your actions can help make it happen! Today's ban exists because of mistakes made over 15 years ago (in an attempt to fix mistakes made over 65 years ago) using data which we know today was mostly fabricated and completely false. These mistakes must be corrected and thanks to the hard work of some of our partner organizations - President Obama, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff John Shalikashvili and other military experts all agree that the time is right to end this ban now. Here's what you can do... CONTACT YOUR REPRESENTATIVES IN CONGRESS!! Let your elected officials know that it is time to END "Don't Ask, Don't Tell". People living in the USA who want to serve their country should not be disqualified from service because they of their sexual orientation! We need a strong and effective military that practices equality. Click here to contact your Representative and Senators. They need to know that YOU want them to vote to END the ban! RALLY IN DC ON FRIDAY, MARCH 13
Final reminder that if you're in the Washington, DC area on Friday, March 13 the National Youth Advocacy Coalition encourages you to join our friends at the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network (SLDN) for a Freedom to Serve rally. The rally is taking place on Friday at noon (maybe take a long lunch break?) on the grounds of the U.S. Capitol. SHOW YOUR SUPPORT IN YOUR TWEETS AND FACEBOOK STATUS UPDATES Tell others that you support the END of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" by changing your Twitter, Facebook or other social networking status to: Thank you for your support of the right of LGBTQ youth to decide for themselves whether or not they want to serve in the US military.
