BREAKING LAST NIGHT: SENATOR REID ANNOUNCES HE INTENDS TO HOLD VOTE ON REPEAL: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid ( D-NV ) confirmed last night that he intends to bring the National Defense Authorization Act ( NDAA ) to the senate floor next week. The NDAA contains the amendment to allow for the repeal of DADT.
STATEMENT FROM AUBREY SARVIS: "We applaud the Senate Majority Leader's courage and his statement tonight to bring the defense bill to the floor. Now, we must deliver."
--"Repeal proponents may well need 60 votes in the Senate to get to this important debate in September. We are now in the final stretch and we must prevail. Repeal supporters should not stop calling their senators.
--Sen. John McCain has been a strong and vocal opponent from the start and it is critical that we beat back any filibuster threat, defeat attempts to strike repeal, and defeat any crippling amendments." |
