HRC Writes Obama on DADT

The Human Rights Campaign president, Joe Solmonese has issues an open letter to President Obama encouraging him to end actions to appeal a federal judge's decision the DADT was unconstitutional. That is a good thing, but the letter is way too long and far to detailed.  Though it is a nice gesture, I would prefer the following.

AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA

Dear Mr. President,

After a federal judge has declared the Don't Ask Don't Tell policy unconstitutional, perhaps you should use the power of your office and decline to appeal that decision.  Why?  Well first off, it's an unconstitutional law and clearly was designed to garner votes, not as sound policy.  Second, you yourself have promised time and time again that DADT will be repealed "on my watch".  Well Mr. President, the whole world is watching.

Sincerely,

Hardy Haberman
