Thank you all for doing this! If I was there or could be, I would be there with you. Don't ask, don't tell has got to go!

Ha! I am totally in the first few seconds of this video. You're very welcome, Rann. I just wish Obama had made some stronger comments on DADT (or announced an executive stop-loss order) during the reception this afternoon.

Good for them - - but there was no excuse for one of their de facto staff having gone to the DNC dinner last week - - and I would like to know if they are finally calling for the CIC to freeze discharges - - something they inexplicably opposed for a long time.

Alex,
If you are speaking of Dixon Osburn, he is not a staff member of SLDN and has not been since 2007, although the circumstances surrounding why Dixon went to the DNC dinner are another subject completely.
