Last night, federal district court Judge Virginia Phillips declared that “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” is unconstitutional. Following federal court rulings on Proposition 8 in August and the “Defense of Marriage Act” (DOMA) in July, Judge Phillips’ decision is the third federal court ruling in as many months to find statutory limitations on the rights of LGBT Americans unconstitutional. However, the fate of DADT is still in doubt. It’s very possible that the DADT decision will be stayed, which means President Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid must take the lead to finally repeal this discriminatory policy. Since 2009, the Courage Campaign has collected 491,197 signatures and delivered them to members of Congress, the U.S. Army and the Obama Administration. Now we need you to do it again — sign here to tell Sen. Harry Reid to follow through : http://www.couragecampaign.org/KeepThePromise
