Meeting with my congressman and making a change

There are few things in life that I feel strongly that I can make a difference in. I firmly believe that everything we do in life makes a difference from getting stopped at a red light or even picking up a phone. However, I usually don't think I can or very few people can cause impact like Martin Luther King Jr. did. With every great person has come suffering and its just not something many of us are willing to endure for something we may believe in. I would give my life to see a certain policy changed because I feel it is so detrimental and wrong. I've spent hours researching this topic to write a good research paper and in the process a spark for change has been ignited into a flame. I'm going to support the president in anyway possible to get rid of the Don't Ask Don't tell policy that is plaguing our military. If you aren't familiar with it it removes homosexuals who are serving their country on a daily basis, shedding their tear and giving their hearts and souls for their country.
I served under the reign of this policy and I know that it is horrible. It brings tears to my eyes even thinking about my friends and future people not gays/str8s/lesbians/bisexuals, but any person who has to endure that kind oppression. I really hope that people take the time read my research paper and even this, and let me speak my mind on this matter that I feel so strongly about.
I'm going to write my first letter to a congressman and really don't know how. I'm not a professional person or political minded at all and I pretty much write like I do in my blogs. I'll call up there and make sure I send it to the write person I don't even know if I can request a meeting or even if it will do any good. I'll end up asking people at school tomorrow. Its 213 AM now and I have a 9 AM class :C. You know what though I don't know how anyone can sleep when they think about this horrible policy. I understand clinton did it it to help people. people who were being killed by their own co workers for their sexuality, but like he said it was suppose to just be temporary.

I can't be so bold as to end my blog today with my normal gay fun toast that I feel applies/works for everyone. The thing I have to say tonight is before I go to bed is :

I don't care if you hate homosexuals or disagree with them and that is your privileged and your opinion matters. However, how dare anyone disrespect someone who is serving their country and willing to give their life so you can have that thought of hate/disapproval towards homosexuals. I may be a 23 y/o gay guy who is outspoken in class and have outlandish statements sometimes and people can have whatever opinion they want of me. However, no one knows what I went through in the military, I shed blood for this country and I really just can't even express the memories of military life sometimes. So I'm glad I got to take this class because of this project and I'm not going to be posting anymore on this blog until after this class because people will be reading this. I'll start again after this though. I've found blogging to be a great outlet.

Integrity First, Service Before Self, Excellence in all we do the core values I lived by for years. To bad I wasn't able to have integrity and had to lie to the people I cared about in the military, and the people I worked beside. That really helped morale and unit cohesion though of course.
