Campaign Unavailable

We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit Equality Texas Action Center.

The short explanation of this alert was:

House Resolution 1246 has been re-introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives. HR 1246, otherwise known as the Military Readiness Enhancement Act, would repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." This harmful policy has prohibited gay, lesbian and bisexual troops from serving openly in the military since 1993.

Watch Stephen Benjamin's personal story, provided by Brave New Foundation.

As of July 29th, 126 of 435 members of Congress (29%) have signed on as co-sponsors of the Military Readiness Enhancement Act. However, only two (2) members of the Texas Congressional Delegation have signed on as co-sponsors: Eddie Bernice Johnson and Sheila Jackson-Lee.

Ask your Representative to co-sponsor the measure today. Below is a sample letter to your Congressperson. Since personalized notes are even more effective, please take a few moments to add your thoughts in the message below. If you are a straight ally, veteran, military personnel, or a family member of military personnel, your letter will be that much more powerful.
