69 Percent + Joe Lieberman

Joe Lieberman is going to support the repeal of the Don't Ask Don't Tell Policy this coming monday. He believes that to exclude one group of Americans from serving in the armed forces is contrary to our fundamental principles as outlined in the Declaration of Independence. Lieberman is going against his close friend McCain who opposes banning the policy. Lieberman also told New York Daily News on Monday that he sees repealing the policy "as an extension, the next step of the civil rights movement."

Nearly seven in ten Americans think that people who are openly gay or lesbian should be allowed to serve in the military, according to a new national poll. Support for allowing gays in the military is much higher among Democrats than Republicans, but the policy wins support from a majority of Republicans as well.
