Suggested
Text of call:
"Hello, my name is ____________
___________, and I'm a constituent of
Representative ________________.
I'm calling to ask Representative
___________ to cosponsor
The Military Readiness Enhancement Act.
The bill would repeal the discriminatory
"Don't Ask, Don't Tell" law and
allow patriotic lesbian, gay, and bisexual
Americans to serve openly in the military.
"Don't
Ask, Don't Tell" requires the military
to fire valuable service members, wasting
millions in taxpayer dollars and worsening
an already critical shortage of qualified
recruits. Recent polling shows three
quarters of Americans believe that gay
people should be able to serve openly in the
military.
I urge Representative __________ to
cosponsor The Military Readiness Enhancement
Act."
NOTE: If you're a veteran,
mention that during your call.
