Tsongas Joins the Campaign for Repeal

Congresswoman Niki Tsongas (D-MA) became the 137th co-sponsor of legislation to repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" yesterday. Tsongas signed on as a supporter of The Military Readiness Enhancement Act, which was originally introduced by Congressman Marty Meehan. Tsongas replaced Meehan as Representative for the 5th District when Meehan retired earlier this year. The addition of Congresswoman Tsongas (who is also a member of the Personnel Subcommittee of the House Armed Services Committee) means that the entire Massachusetts House delegation now supports the legislation to allow lesbian, gay and bisexual Americans the opportunity to serve openly in our armed forces.
