On the recordMay 27, 2010
I am concerned, though, today about the attempt to repeal the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy without listening to our servicemembers first. We are currently fighting two wars and asking our men and women to make tremendous sacrifices. Now this Congress wants to act without their regard and essentially tell our American military members and families that their views do not count. We have only been given 5 minutes to debate this policy which will affect millions of American servicemembers and their families.
