Military Readiness Enhancement Act.
First Step…
To find out whether your Representative has signed on as a co-sponsor for this bill, check the THOMAS Co-Sponsor list. If your Representative’s name is not listed here, we encourage you to either call or send them an email/letter urging them to support this bill. To contact your Representative, you can use the US House of Representatives search form. (in addition to postal address, this link also provides telephone/fax info, and an email contact form)
If you place a telephone call, tell the person who answers that you are a constituent, and that you are calling to urge the Representative to co-sponsor the Military Readiness Enhancement Act (bill number H.R. 1283) — a bill to lift the ban on “homosexual acts” in the Armed Forces, which explicitly includes simply referring to oneself with the terms “gay” or “lesbian,” and henceforth would permit open and honest service, and ban discrimination based on sexual orientation, real or perceived. After calling, feel free to use the comment form below to tell us how your telephone call went. All comments are initially screened.
Second Step…
Once you finish contacting your Representative, encourage all of your family, friends, and colleagues to contact their own Representatives likewise. They need not live in your same district or even state. To forward this page via email, use the email link at the top right.
