The "Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell" law bans gays, lesbians, and bisexuals from serving openly in the U.S. military. This law has been directly responsible for 13,000 dedicated military personnel having their careers taken away, their dignity dragged through the mud, and their families torn apart. These discharges have included Arabic linguists, pilots, medics and others that held critical skill sets.
Sign our letter below to Florida's congressional delegation urging them to support HR 1283, the Military Readiness Enhancement Act, which would repeal the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" law.
Letter to Florida's Congressional DelegationDear Members of the Florida Congressional Delegation: The time has come to end discrimination in our armed forces. We, the undersigned Floridians, ask you to help repeal the failed “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” law by joining the growing list of 168 co-sponsors of H.R. 1283, the Military Readiness Enhancement Act. “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” has resulted in the loss, through discharge, of more than 13,000 service members since it was implemented in 1993. These discharges have included Arabic linguists, pilots, medics and others that held critical skill sets. The law has destroyed thousands of careers and compromised the strength of our over-burdened military. Ending “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” is the right thing to do – for justice and for national security. Please co-sponsor H.R. 1283 today. Sincerely, |
