A Repeal Of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell?"

California Rep. Ellen Tauscher, a Democrat, will tomorrow introduce legislation in the House to repeal the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy that bans gay soldiers from serving openly in the military.

"This law has failed our country and our military for 15 years," Tauscher said at a news conference. "It harms military readiness and discriminates against patriotic young men and women who want to serve their country. It's time for Congress to right this wrong."

Tauscher planned to introduce the legislation today but did not because the weather kept the House out of session, according to communications director Jonathan Kaplan. The bill has 112 co-sponsors, he told Hotsheet, though no Republicans are among them.
