Call Your Senators Thursday to Repeal DADT !

This Thursday, as the Senate Armed Services Committee meets again to
hear testimony on repealing Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, it is vital that
citizens flood the Senate with phone calls demanding the law be
repealed NOW!

Capitol Hill Switchboard: (202) 224-3121
Senate Contact List:
http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm

Our organizations and our lobbyists aren’t strong enough to make this
happen without constituent pressure, and there is no greater way to
build that pressure than through each of our individual social
networks on Facebook.

Tips:

1. Be RESPECTFUL and RELENTLESS
2. Get them to answer: Does the Senator support the repeal?
4. Ask to be put on a special email list to be informed on the
Senator’s efforts to repeal DADT.
4. Ask to meet with the Senator the next time they’re back in your district.
5. Residents of the District of Columbia call Senators Reid & Levin
