This is the one where you should ask and you should tell.

Today is “Take Action Tuesday” organized by the organization Knights Out.  I orginally heard about Knights Out on the Rachel Maddow show when Lt. Dan Choi came on and said that he was taught to be open and honest – and the “Don’t ask, don’t tell” policy goes against what he learned at Westpoint.

And today, the Knights Out are asking you to call the White House switchboard (202-456-1111) and let them know what you think about D.A.D.T.  A sample script is here:

I’m calling to tell the president not to fire Lieutenant Dan Choi – and to keep his promise to end “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.”
I am a [something about you: Iraq vet, gay/straight West Point/Annapolis/AFA grad, concerned citizen, brother/sister/father/mother/son/daughter/friend of a soldier/sailor/airman/marine…etc.]
We need all the combat officers, and Arabic linguists, and for that matter, every capable servicemember we can get – to keep our military strong. No more studies; we need President Obama to tell Congress to repeal the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” law NOW.

If possible, call today, Tuesday.  They want to flood the switchboard.
