Petition - July 13th, 2009
On July 8, Congressman Patrick Murphy took an important step when he became the official lead sponsor for H.R. 1283, the Military Readiness Enhancement Act, the Congressional effort to overturn the policy known as “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.”

As the first Iraq war veteran elected to Congress, Congressman Murphy has taken a leadership role on issues of national security. His decision to step up and carry forward the legislative repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” is encouraging.

Sign our message thanking Congressman Murphy, and ask your pro-equality friends and family members to do the same.

When our Democratic leaders stand up for equality, they need to feel our support. Join Stonewall Democrats in supporting Patrick Murphy's bold leadership.
Dear Congressman Murphy,

We, the undersigned, share your view that “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” is dangerous legislation that threatens our national security and is anathema to our country’s founding promises of freedom and equality.

During the 2008 Presidential campaign, we were encouraged to hear then-candidate Barack Obama pledge to sign any repeal of the law that Congress put before him.

We appreciate your decision to quarterback the repeal legislation, not just because we have confidence in your ability to shepherd the legislation through Congress, but because you have such a strong understanding of the need for repeal as you demonstrated on the July 7, 2009 episode of The Rachel Maddow Show.

Therefore, we want to express our strong appreciation to you and the other pro-equality Democrats who are leading the charge to bring equality to our military.

Thank you, and we’re standing with you.

Sincerely,

Comments

ThinkProgress contacted the senator’s office, asking for clarification and whether he would be issuing an apology. However, while Eichelberger repeatedly says that his comments are being misinterpreted, nowhere in that article does he shed any more light onto what he actually meant.

I am very confident that as we lead the fight to repeal the "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy that we're going to be successful. Successful getting it through the Congress and on the President's desk, and President Obama has promised, has took an oath and said he will sign that piece of legislature to finally, after sixteen long years, repeal the comptia exams "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy. I just came back from Iraq and Afghanistan, and I will tell you, so many troops grabbed me aside and said, "Hey Congressman, hey Patrick, keep fighting, because this policy is wrong and we need you to change it." ibm exams PS: And you think that the leadership in the military is ready as well? CPM: Well, you know, the military leadership takes an oath to support the Constitution and they takes their orders from the Commander-in-Chief. And if the CIC signs into law that we are repealing DADT, then the CIC says to his Secretary of Defense and his Chairman of his Joints Chief of Staff, which President Obama has already done, and says, hp exams "Guys, get ready to implement this thing, because it's changing, because it's coming from the Congress"- they will execute. They will salute sharply and execute the mission given to them.
