Title: ACLU Responds to Senate Blocking Repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell "I'm James Esseks
from the ACLU. Congress has once again failed to repeal the discriminatory Don't Ask Don't
Tell Law. This is a loss for the thousands of lesbian and gay service members who patriotically
serve our country and yet risk being kicked out just because of who they are. It's also
a loss for the vasts majority of Americans who want our government to respect the values
of fairness and equality promised by the Constitution. The ACLU will continue to do everything we
can. Both in Congress and in the courts to end this discriminatory policy. In Washington
State, we represent Air force Major Margaret Witt and recently got the first court order
directing the military to reinstate someone dismissed under Don't Ask Don't Tell. There
are other legal challenges pending as well. One way or another, Don't Ask Don't Tell will
be history soon and the ACLU wont rest until that day comes." To Learn More, Go To: www.aclu.org/dadt
