Opinion Pieces Point to Rising Tide of Support for Repeal
This weekend editorials and op-eds across the country came out in favor of DADT repeal. As we saw in polls from CNN and the Wall Street Journal/NBC last week, more and more Americans are ready for repeal. Veterans and civilians from coast to coast are speaking out:
Arizona Republic
Few changes with 'don't ask' repeal, just honesty (op-ed)
Aurora Sentinel (Colorado)
Top brass right about ditching 'don't ask, don't tell' (editorial)
Concord Monitor (New Hampshire)
It's time to repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell (op-ed)
Connecticut Post
'Don't ask, don't tell' must end (editorial)
The Tennessean
Don’t ask, don’t tell forces best and bravest into isolation (op-ed)
You can join the ranks of repeal supporters and write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper today. Make a difference by getting involved in this debate and telling both your senators that our service members deserve a repeal vote during lame-duck session.

Is there any other issue in America that 75% of Americans support (ending DADT) that doesn’t simply happen? How much longer will a few ignorant, homophobic Senators block the end of this civil rights and military functional injustice? And, a little more direct support from the Commander in Chief would help. Is he making the 20 or so phone calls behind the scenes to support friends and twist arms of adversaries in the Senate? Does he fully realize that DADT must end in this Congress or not at all for the foreseeable future? Overall, this issues seems a little like the old national 55 mph speed limit: nobody supports it, but too many fear unambiguously supporting its end.

The majority of Marines are unconcerned by potential repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”... Read the full story and find out the answers history gives for the following questions:
- Why is the Commandant continuing to stonewall progress on repealing the discriminatory measure?
- Will the Corps really have more problems than the other Services if this policy is repealed?
- And is the war in Afghanistan a legitimate reason to delay repeal?
