Servicemembers United Announces DADT Lobby Day To Occur September 16th

Servicemembers United announces via press release:

Servicemembers United, the nation’s largest organization of gay and lesbian troops and veterans, announced today that it will host another “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” lobby day for repeal supporters on Thursday, September 16, 2010. The fall lobby day, affectionately nicknamed “The Final Assault,” will come at a critical time after the Senate reconvenes but before the chamber is expected to take up the repeal-inclusive defense authorization bill. Participants can register for the September 16th “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” lobby day at Servicemembers United.

“This lobby day will be the last major opportunity for supporters of repeal to come to Washington, make the case for this amendment, and hold their senators accountable on this vote,” said Alexander Nicholson, Executive Director of Servicemembers United and a former U.S. Army interrogator who was discharged under “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” “Lobbying for repeal is now a lot more complicated than simply saying ‘support repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,’ so we want to be able to explain the nuances of the current situation to repeal supporters and arm them with the detailed information they need to hold their Senators accountable.”
