Re: Rigged Pentagon Report
December 1, 2010
I am writing to ask that you to tell your U.S. Senators to vote against repealing the 1993 law that ban homosexuals from serving in the military. This matter should not be dealt with by a Congress of the Defeated during this Lame Duck session.
If the law is repealed, the military will institute a zero tolerance policy against anyone who is critical of homosexual sex acts. This will result in re-education programs, loss of promotions, and exodus from the military.
It will also result in the stifling of the religious liberty of chaplains who will be forbidden to preach from the Bible on the sin of homosexual sex acts.
Service in the military is a privilege, not a right. Homosexuals will damage unit cohesion and morale.
The process has been biased from the outset. Lt. Gen. Thomas Bostick, U.S. Army Deputy Chief of Staff in charge of personnel, stated that any soldiers and officers who opposed homosexuality on moral and religious grounds were "bigoted and racists" and said "people opposing this new policy will need to get with the program, and if they can't, they need to get out."
The Pentagon report – with its predetermined outcome – will be used by liberals in Congress to push for the repeal of the 1993 law. This must not happen – especially during the lame duck session with the Congress of the Defeated. Tell your U.S. Senators today to vote against this repeal.
Republican leaders in the House, who will be overseeing military matters, have issued a statement calling for no repeal of the 1993 law until they have had a chance to review the study and hold hearings next year. They don’t believe the lame duck session is any time to make such a significant change to our military.
Urge your U.S. Senators to defer any action on repealing the 1993 law until after Congress has held a series of comprehensive hearings on this and has determined that this change will have no impact on our armed forces or national security during a time of war.
No policy change should be made that does not improve recruitment, retention, unit cohesion and military readiness.
Sincerely,

I'll make my calls today. Actually, Chucky Schumer doesn't take calls at any of his offices. His lines have been "busy" for weeks.
How democratic and progressive of him, wouldn't you say?
