Texan Activists set to Take Action on Tuesday at Noon

If you were living under a rock this weekend (as I was, also known as getting ready for the holidays), you may not have heard the news. Saturday brought with it the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell following the Senate vote to the relief of many. That is great news, especially the men and women serving in our armed forces who have had to hide who they are every day in order to serve their country.

Prior to that news this weekend, several activists in Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, and Houston were planning a rally outside Sentator Kay Bailey Hutchison's offices to let their voices be heard. After speaking with Michael Diviesti (@atxthumper) representing GetEqual (@getEQUAL) in Texas, the rally will be going ahead. "We will no longer sit by and allow votes like that of Sen. Hutchison on the repeal measure to go unnoticed. Although the repeal measure passed the Senate with a filibuster proof majority, Senator Hutchison attempted to silence those willing to defend the rights and freedoms of the United States with their lives by voting against the repeal. We will not be silenced. The freedom of speech is guaranteed to all Americans, not just those who the Senator prefers." Diviesti stated regarding the effort to let the Senator know that "Enough is Enough".
