Instead of repealing the ridiculous Don't Ask Don't Tell policy himself, President Obama is putting that responsibility on the shoulders of Congress. While this might seem a little... shady, at least there are outspoken veterans like Rep. Patrick Murphy of Pennsylvania who are leading the way to finally rid our military of this discriminatory policy that has ended the careers of 13,000 qualified men and women.

Murphy, a veteran of the Iraq War, is currently traveling around the country on the "Voices of Honor Tour", speaking out about how Don't Ask Don't Tell is nonsensical and hurting our country. If you want to help Murphy out, click here to send a message to your representative to support The Military Readiness Enhancement Act.
