Said Lieberman: "We're here to make clear that the reports of the death of the movement to repeal 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' have been greatly exagerrated. The movement to end the injustice of 'DADT' is alive and well and we're going to keep fighting, in the spirit of the American military, until we get the job done."
