The House is debating an Amendment by Patrick Murphy (D-PA) to repeal "Don't Ask Don't Tell" after: (1) receipt of the recommendations of the Pentagon's Comprehensive Review Working Group on how to implement a repeal of DADT (due December 1, 2010) and (2) a certification by the Secretary of Defense, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and President that repeal is first, consistent with military readiness, military effectiveness, unit cohesion & recruiting, and second, that the DoD has prepared the necessary policies and regulations to implement its repeal. It would also include a 60 day period after certification before the repeal took effect.

  • @pchapeau - I am also represented by Rep.Lewis and I am proud that he represents the views of the 5th district.

    @silentonall - there aren't words to describe how dumb you sound. You seriously believe that allowing gay men and women to serve openly in the military will amount to its downfall? Maybe the billions of dollars we have spent training gay men and women only for them to be summarily dismissed for the sexual orientation is a good thing in your opinion? DADT is discrimination. Simple.

  • It's about time. So glad that the majority of the House and Senate are standing up for ALL Americans, ALL soldiers. Now I just hope that Senator McCain and the others don't have the guts to filibuster the whole defense bill just for this.

  • This particular "assclown" participated courageously in the 1961 Freedom Rides and was beaten by a white mob in Alabama. Would you have the courage to face down such hateful thugs? Gay people face threats on a daily basis. My guess is that you are a coward and a bully with no military experience - in short, a real assclown.

  • Isn't this the same Commie Congress that got up and applaud Mexico's Calderon after he spit in our faces? Thats when Pelosi did the jack in the box thing again. These assclowns in Congress acted like the U N General assembly and now they act ike they are for you, suckers. That applause showed how badly out of touch these moronic fools in Washington really are.This looks an awful lot like conspiring with the enemy to me.

  • Wisdom from the elders.

  • Preach it, brother!

  • Thank you Rep. Lewis
