Msg: FILIBUSTER AND VOTE AGAINST repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell.
Phone calls won’t work. We are fast approaching torches and pitchforks time...
BTW, pro-homo trolls are surely on the way to this thread even as we speak. Pop some popcorn and hope for a good zot show!
Lame duck sessions need to be outlawed.
This is insanity. The costs of AIDS treatment alone are astronomical. I have suspected since the beginning that Obama’s real agenda is to weaken our military. There is nothing more damaging he could do than mandate homosexuality in our military barracks and showers. This is one of the most disgraceful acts in Congress ever.
2. New Defense Bill Introduced: A new defense bill has been introduced that omits some controversial provisions that held up the passage of the previous version — mainly the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” and military hospital abortions. HR 6523 will provide $725 billion in funding on a range of items, to include war funding and weapons systems modernization programs, as well as extend Tricare healthcare coverage to dependent children up to age 26, and provide a 1.4% across-the-board military pay raise. The defense bill is expected to be voted on before the 111th Congress adjourns. For a full summary of the bill, go to the House Armed Services Committee website at http://armedservices.house.gov/index.cfm/press-releases?ContentRecord_id=47290df4-6149-481c-97dc-7d35f8c3f308.
