Possible Vote On The Repeal Of Don't Ask, Don't Tell Today

We just heard that the repeal of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy maybe up for a vote today and it's too close to call.

We need everyone to take two minutes and call Senator Murkowski to ask her to support the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy and most importantly support the vote for cloture in Senate for the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

Senator Murkowski could be the vote that puts us over the top -- but we still have some work to do and it will take all of us to do it. Please call her at 202.224.6665 right now.

The U.S. House voted earlier this year to repeal the discriminatory "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" law as part of the NDAA. But we still need the Senate to take action before the year ends.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski has the opportunity to prove again that she represents ALL Alaskans. In 2009, she voted for the NDAA, which included the Matthew Shepard/James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act. Now, in 2010, she can again vote for that same bill which funds our military and will also repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."

Tell Sen. Murkowski to take up, vote for cloture, and pass the NDAA!

Sincerely,

Board of Directors
Alaskans Together for Equality, Inc.

P.S. – After you call and write your e-mail, please forward this message or tell your friends and family what is at stake and ask them to contact Sen. Lisa Murkowski too.
