Petition to Repeal DADT

Organizing For America is urging supporters to sign a petition to repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." It is good to see President Obama using his grassroots organization to gain support to repeal DADT.

Update: the National Journal Insiders Poll asked establishment Democrats and Republicans on views on DADT. 82 percent of Democratic insiders support repealing DADT. 50 percent of Republican insiders want to downplay DADT. Only 31 percent support opposing the repeal. Republicans know bashing gays is killing them with younger voters.

"Intolerance and gay baiting have resulted in losing younger voters and suburban voters in the past and could well do the same this year."

Expect Mitch McConnell, John Boehner and Eric Cantor to fight repealing DADT. These guys fear the Tea Party and social conservative base of the Republican Party.
