Lt. Dan Choi - sign this letter now - time is running out!


Lt. Dan Choi, a Grand Marshal of the 2009 San Francisco Pride Parade, is a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and an Iraq War veteran. On Tuesday, he will face a panel of colonels who will decide whether or not to fire him -- to discharge him from the military for "moral and professional dereliction" under the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy.

An amazing 141,262 people signed Lt. Choi's letter to President Obama a few weeks ago. Now he needs your help again. Please sign the letter of support and add your own (optional) personal message.

Lt. Choi will submit your signatures and your comments to the Army at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, which is tomorrow:

" We, the undersigned, urge you not to discharge Lt. Daniel Dan Choi from the Army National Guard.

Lt. Dan Choi, a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and an Iraq War veteran, is a capable soldier and leader who can continue to play a vital role in this time of war.

As a member of the military who is fluent in Arabic, Lt. Choi's skills are especially needed at this critical time in our nation's history. America's national security is dependent on the service of soldiers like Lt. Choi, who is ready to deploy again if his country calls on him.

Lt. Choi's dedication to West Point and the Army brings credit to the military. His fighting spirit on behalf of his country -- and on behalf of supporting the freedom of gay and lesbian Americans to serve -- demonstrates the values of honor and duty so vital to our nation's military.

Please do not discharge Lt. Choi and deprive him of the right to serve his country. "

119,406 people have signed this letter as of Monday, 12:53 p.m. PT. Please help Lt. Choi before Tuesday's trial by adding your name now.
