Homosexual Activists Plan August Lobbying Blitz to Repeal 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell'

WASHINGTON, DC, August 5, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) - According to press releases from two homosexualist lobby groups, activists will begin a campaign this month, directed at senators from 10 states, to persuade them to vote for repealing the law that bans openly homosexual people from serving in the military.

Lobbyists from the homosexual "rights" groups Human Rights Campaign (HRC) and Servicemembers Legal Defense Network (SLDN) are set to descend upon the offices of senators from Arkansas, Indiana, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota and Virginia as part of their "Countdown 2010" campaign.

"As we approach the waning days of this congressional session, we must continue to demand immediate action on critical legislation," HRC President Joe Solmonese said in a statement. "LGBT voters and our allies will be keenly aware of congressional action or inaction as the November elections approach."

"We need supporters to contact their senators and tell them to repeal 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' and follow the lead of Chairman Carl Levin who will be managing the defense bill on the floor," said homosexual activist and executive director of SLDN Aubrey Sarvis. "It is critical that we beat back any filibuster threat, defeat attempts to strike repeal, and defeat any crippling amendments. Senators need to hear from us now, especially in the 10 key states where our combined SLDN and HRC field teams are working now."

"Lesbian Gay Bisexual & Transgender people and our allies can make a real difference by making their voices heard face-to-face and in the districts where they live," added Solmonese.

A provision that would repeal the military's ban on homosexuals, commonly known as "Don't ask, don't tell" is included in the 2011 defense authorization bill and may be taken up by the upper chamber in September when the Senate returns from recess.
