Scott Brown: Don't Ask Don't Tell

Scott Brown seems to have become much more cautious as he matured. Once known for wearing pink leather shorts on a date with his future wife, Scott

....believes any vote for repeal [of Don't Ask Don't Tell] should be put off until the Pentagon has time to formulate a plan for implementing any new policy.

"I am keeping an open mind, but I do not support moving ahead until I am able to finish my review, the Pentagon completes its study, and we can be assured that a new policy can be implemented without jeopardizing the mission of our military," Brown said in a statement provided to the Globe.

Will Scott finish his review before he goes on vacation? What about the military men and women who are being outed and losing their careers while Scott Brown dithers. How does that make us safe?

Over 13,500 Americans have been discharged from military service for no reason other than being open about their sexual orientation.1

And this week, we have a real chance to end this shameful practice once and for all.

Today, the Senate Armed Services Committee could vote to repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," which bars openly gay or bisexual people from serving in the U.S. military. But it's not clear whether the votes are there yet.

Your senator, Scott Brown, is on the Armed Services Committee and is a crucial swing vote. Can you call Sen. Brown today and urge him to support the amendment to repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"?

Here's where to call: Senator Scott Brown Phone: 202-224-4543

Since President Obama vowed to repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" this year, there has been a groundswell of support for ending the practice. Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Michael Mullen testified "that allowing gays and lesbians to serve openly would be the right thing to do."2 And equality advocates, like our friends at Courage Campaign and Democracy for America, have collected over 100,000 signatures on a letter to the White House calling for the law's repeal.

Today's vote in the Senate committee is the best chance we have of ensuring an end to "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" this year. Please call Sen. Brown right away and make sure it's clear that his constituents want action this year to ensure a strong, open military.

Here's where to call:

Senator Scott Brown

Thanks for all you do.
