It's happening. Our moment has arrived. Senate Majority  Leader Harry Reid 
has scheduled a vote to repeal "Don't Ask, Don't  Tell."

With the help of Lady Gaga and some amazing veterans,  107,159 people 
visited our website and took action  in just 72 hours. Nearly 93 percent of those 
 were new visitors.

People of all ages are responding; more  than 150 people have left comments 
after phoning their senators.  

And young people are responding. _Meet  Ellie and Lauren of Boulder, 
Colorado_ 
(http://www.sldn.org/page/m/2598865c/d33898/2a40a849/7615b5ae/4006860687/VEsE/) . They not only  called their home state senators, but ran down 
their dorm room  hallway and recruited as many students as they could. Watch 
their  video. It ends with a message from the senator's office  saying its 
"voicemail is full."

Call the Capitol  switchboard now. The lines are open 24 hours a day.  

(202)  224-3121

If you need to know the name of your  senator, just ask the operator.

What to say while on the  phone: 
Tell your senators to vote with Sen. Reid and Sen. Carl Levin  in opposing 
a filibuster, or any amendment to strike "Don't Ask,  Don't Tell" repeal 
from the larger Defense bill.

Tell your  senators that it is critical they vote and finish the Defense 
bill  before they leave for the election recess. 
Others are responding every minute. _One young man of Cape Cod,  
Massachusetts_ 
(http://www.sldn.org/page/m/2598865c/d33898/2a40a849/7615b5ad/4006860687/VEsF/)  called Sens. Kerry and Brown. He was in  for quite a surprise when 
Sen. Brown's office said the senator was  not supporting the vote.

Call the 24-hour Capitol  switchboard now and urge both your senators to 
vote for  repeal.

(202)  224-3121
