Dear Friends,

This is our final push in 2010. And we need you now.

Every day that passes by in December is one fewer day to repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" this year. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), are doing everything they can to kill repeal.

We can't let them win. We can't let the clock run out on repeal, after 17 years of hard work and historic votes in the House and Senate Armed Services Committee in May.

We must take a stand. Demand that senators not go home for holiday vacation until their work is done.

Join the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network at the Senate THIS Friday, December 10th, at noon, for the "Mission: Incomplete" Rally.

The lame-duck vote on repeal was set up and dictated by some of the same Senators - like John McCain and Mitch McConnell -- who are now delaying to kill the bill. They wanted the Pentagon report - now they have it. They wanted hearings - now they're done. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has said he is determined to pass the defense bill with repeal.

Senators must not be allowed to hide any longer behind process, procedure, and tax cuts for the wealthy, while the discrimination continues. Don't let repeal opponents have the last laugh this year. Don't let one more day go by without standing up for our men and women in uniform who are serving in silence.

See you this Friday, as we stand together for repeal!
