Don't Ask Don't Tell Repeal Vote Possible

Big news on the Don't Ask Don't Tell front: Congress could vote to repeal it TODAY! NPR reported this morning that there should be no trouble in the House, the Senate will be tougher, but sponsors are confident that the repeal will pass.

In a compromise with military leaders, the bill says that the military can take as long as it wants to implement the repeal, but even so, a vote today rather than in December (when some want to push this off till) is big news.

If you've got an extra 30 seconds today (come on, who doesn't?) call your Senators. You can reach anyone in Congress by calling the capital switchboard at (202)224-3121 and asking for them by name.

More updates later if and when the vote happens.
