Kendrick Meek's Statement on Don't Ask, Don't Tell Developments
MIAMI GARDENS, FLA. - Kendrick Meek released the following statement regarding yesterday's news that the White House will back a vote to repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell:"
"For 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. We must not let political games or ideological squabbles overwhelm our best chance to bring about this long-sought change. It is reform that truly embodies the principles this nation was founded upon. I ask all Floridians 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."
