this morning i am proud
to sign a law that will bring an end
too don't ask don't tell person i'm about to sign will strengthen our national security
an option or the ideals that are fighting men and women
risk their lives to the fed
no longer will our country being denied the service of thousands a patriotic americans
who were forced to leave the military
regardless of their skills no matter their bravery or there's a real
no matter their years of exemplary performance
because they happen to be gay
by president obama said many times if you want to go forward you put it in d
if you wanna go backwards you put it in are
all right now the president of the democrats made history last week they repeal don't ask
don't tell and that is a huge support for gay rights
but is always the grand old party is stuck in the stone age two major conservative groups
concerned women for america and their family research council are boycotting the conservative
putting political action conference this year
they're out uh... their seven out because agle proud of national organization of gay
conservatives was invited to the event
for more on this list in the chairman of the board of gold prob chris her back
white chris for stability rather way wind as we know that you're in a republican
former republican offers are not just a republican i'm a conservative republican
i am a conservative because i while i was born day i wasn't born to believe that government
has all the answers high in fact i've seen throughout my life and in fact government
is often the problem because i believe in free market up because i believe a strong
military defense paul because i believe it in the the power of the individual that's
why i'm a conservative right understand that in our debjit gay people do they have opinions
that are arranged to confirm liberal-conservative on economic matters a lot of that is of course
absolutely right i get that
but what i don't get is how you can
worded conscious vote for a party
does not like you they don't like who you are they don't like your identity
first off i completely and totally project that
uh... we work for the second your honor are participating in c pack
the largest relations to use in our our mothers
offers up but we're going around for two years
uh... so every year that we've been in the existence we've participated in c pack
and i think it's been so amazing is entering this controversy
major organizations opinion leaders have all stood off forego proud cito afford a conservative
and said yes they're an important part of this movement and we need them to win we need
them going forward ice that's the real story here the real story is that the conservative
movement is more united than ever there are few people people like burger king joe's affair
in the world that daily crowd to make their living trying to grab attention grabbed headlines
divide the movement the fact is the conservative movement is united were winning anti-united
bahay namin united as there are still real
here you know i mean with a straight face hold on are you telling a straight face for
the republican party has been while communities all this time
now the republican hasn't always been welcome you describe john is that now what did he
answer video movement the conservative movement absolutely welcoming to gay people
i can tell you right now uh... i have included lawyers for i think the openly gay with the
conservatives that idea of being a conservative with other gay people that's the truth that's
the applicant you might not like it but it doesn't change reality yeah you know what
you are no reality chris
when don't ask don't tell what was up for appeal only eight of the republican senators
would afford
and fifteen of that and other opponent house i was very it against you
why can't i mean what do you recognize the has sent out earlier look you wouldn't have
had don't ask don't tell rick you know if it weren't for those republican votes
and secondly worked as a whole range of issues at night when i'm sitting at the table with
my partner talking about the issues that affect us surprise surprise those issues the same
issues that affect americans all across this country healthcare the economy jobs taxes
retirement security an odd issue after issue after issue the conservative movement offers
policy fixes there are better for gay couples you might not like it and lou rawls might
not like it but that's the truth that's the truth
let chris legally alley video but you gotta wake up men and two thousand four there and
a whole national campaign against a team here
although everyone kaay
darwinian we are winning the conservative movement where we are a problem part of that
movement i a glove
