"Tell your senators to repeal 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' NOW!"

[jenmito]

"The Senate is scheduled to vote in a matter of days on whether to repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" – but anti-equality senators led by John McCain have threatened to filibuster the bill; we'll need every single vote to win.

Years of political groundwork are on the line here, and there's no guarantee this will be a victory.

We need your help to show that a majority of Americans want this discriminatory law repealed – once and for all. Every senator needs to know this is important, whether they're already on our side or not.

We have a chance to make history. Please, send your message today."

1. says Lady Gaga ....

..... one of those awesome moments today when two of my interests collided (like in Rachel's graph the other night) .... Gaga actually explained to her followers on Twitter what a filibuster was. Pretty cool.

[jenmito]

10. Yup...

and she called out McCain. Funny how the "hip" McCain had time to tweet Snookie but had no response to The Gaga.

17. thanks

I can't really call them myself since I now longer live in Ohio and have never lived in Maine, and Massachusetts. I know at least one of my friends from Ohio have already written.

15. OK, I'll try to call Brown (though I suspect it is a loss of time). And may be I'll call Kerry

(just to thank him).
