NEED {to end discrimination}

Did you know that the military is still discharging soldiers who are gay and want to serve their country?

One of these soldiers is California's Lt. Dan Choi -- an Iraq War veteran and Arabic linguist. Lt. Choi is fighting the discharge and fighting the discriminatory "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. And he needs our help as soon as possible.

Lt. Choi goes on trial on Tuesday. I just signed a letter of support via the Courage Campaign for Lt. Choi, which he will bring with him to his trial. With just a few hours left before Lt. Choi's trial, more than 90,000 people have also signed on to the letter.

It's important that Lt. Choi walks into the courtroom holding as many signatures of support as possible for his fight to continue serving his country, no matter who he loves.

Will you join me in signing and urge your friends to do the same before Tuesday's trial?:
