Please join us today to protest for the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"! The Senate failed to break the filibuster on the Defense Authorization Bill, with Don't Ask Don't Tell repeal included, by a vote of 57 to 40. Our new senator, Mark Kirk, who campaigned throughout Illinois as an independent, moderate Republican, was among the nay votes! This despite enough Illinois residents calling his office to ask for his vote on repeal that his phone system was brought to its knees! Polling shows that 78% of Americans support repeal of this discriminatory policy. If you can't come, or are in other areas of Illinois, will you please call Kirk's office again to voice your demand for the repeal of DADT?

Location: Federal Plaza, at Adams & Dearborn, in Chicago
