SIGN PETITION, HELP 100,000 GAY MILITARY

Friend,

Over 100,000 military service members were discharged under “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” because they were gay. Many of those discharges were dishonorable or other than honorable. Please join Daily Kos and the DCCC in urging Congress to pass the Restore Honor to Service Members Act, which would restore honorable status to the thousands of Americans who were discharged because of their sexual orientation. A dishonorable discharge can have a huge effect on a person’s life. Because some states treat dishonorable discharges as felonies, these service members may have trouble getting work or be prohibited from voting, collecting unemployment, or veterans benefits because they were gay. “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” was repealed in 2010, now we need to undo some of the damage this corrosive policy caused to people’s lives before that happened. Please join Daily Kos and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee to help pass the Restore Honor to Service Members Act: Sign the petition now. Keep fighting, Michael Langenmayr Campaign Director, Daily Kos
