John McCain of the National Defense Authorizations Act, to which repeal is included. The key U.S. Senate vote is scheduled for 2:15pm on Tuesday.
If you can't make the rally, tell your home state senators to end "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" by voting the week of September 20 in Washington, D.C.

What to say while on the phone:
--Tell your senators to vote with Sen. Reid and Sen. Carl Levin in opposing the filibuster, defeat amendments to strike repeal, and defeat any crippling amendments.
--Senators should follow the lead of Sen. Carl Levin who will be managing the defense bill.
--It is critical that the vote on “final passage” takes place before senators leave for the election recess.
