Dear Friend,
Just yesterday, the White House made a big announcement: they would back a vote to repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
In my opinion, it is a vote that is long overdue. My opponents, however, both oppose changing this intolerant policy.
For far too long, the Pentagon's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy has dishonored those who serve our country so nobly.
While yesterday's signals from the White House are promising, the fight to finally repeal this policy has only just begun. The time to repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" is now - we can't delay any further.

We must not let political games or ideological squabbles overwhelm our best chance to bring about this long-sought change. The current policy is not only discriminatory to so many Americans, but is wrong for our national security. Since 1994, over 13,000 service members have been discharged under this law.
This is reform that truly embodies the principles this nation was founded upon.
I ask you to stand with our brave servicemen and women and join me in the fight to repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
Those who protect our nation deserve nothing less.

I am the only progressive in this race standing up to repeal this policy. I hope you will join me today.
Sincerely,
Kendrick
