8. The best strategy is for Congress to vote on the repeal.
The PERMANENT repeal of DADT is in the Defense Appropriations bill which the democrats tried to get a vote on a couple of weeks ago but the republicans blocked cloture.
Congress will have it back on the agenda again and WILL vote before the end of the year.
I am really tired of folks that say that Obama and Congress aren't doing anything.
Obama and Congress ARE working on this issue in a way that will make the repeal of DADT PERMANENT - why can't people see that fact!
