You clearly made a promise to gay people in the military. President truman said it clearly "the buck stops here'. It's long overdue to keep your promise to gays who are fighting and dying right now! End discrimination against gays the way Truman ended it against Blacks.

Please keep your campaign promises President Obama. I worked hard as a volunteer for your campaign and even though I know the pressures you are dealing with in Washington (those moral majority, Brotherhood of the Bell, Neo Cons) you must stand up to them. The nation is 80% behind you and the apathy of the 80's and 90's has begun to disappear as the people of the Uited States begin to wake up. Rise up U.S. The world is watching. We also appeal that you remove any funding for these Watch groups who are targeting innocent people Cointelpro style. It is called mobbing/community based harassment and many innocent people like myself are being victimised by these vigilante groups who have been spoon-fed slander by the neo cons. Their is online and offline slander that is perpetuationg the harassment against us.
