SLDN Unveils Letters to Presidential Hopefuls Santorum and Moore
Today SLDN released letters sent to former Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA) and former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore, presidential hopefuls who have expressed opposition to repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” (DADT).
In taking this stance they have joined the ranks of other expected presidential contenders who want to reverse the progress made toward open service, including Governor Haley Barbour (R-MS), former Governor Mike Huckabee (R-AR), and former Governor Tim Pawlenty (R-MN). Earlier this month SLDN sent letters urging each of these potential candidates to abandon their calls to “repeal the repeal” of DADT.
We will continue to speak out for all service members and defend repeal against a determined opposition that is attempting to undermine our progress and turn the clock back on repeal. Click here to read the full text of the letters sent to Santorum and Moore.

No surprise with most of those guys mentioned, except for Pawlenty.
I had hoped he was beter than that.
I would not be surprised if Donald Trump said something negative about the repeal.
He has flipped on abortion and now says he’s against gay marriage. Apparrently he is entitled to three marriages but don’t want me to have even one.
He would say that the earth is flat if it appealed to the Repug base.
