Gaga Fans Rally To Repeal DADT

On Sunday's VMAs, Lady Gaga urged her fans to call Harry Reid and their local Senators to demand the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell.  Many people acted, but one group in particular has received some attention.  Two college students filmed themselves calling Mike Bennet, their local Senator from Colorado.  These two young ladies had to first find out who their Senator was. Once the call was made, they enlisted the help of the rest of their college dorm to call as well.  The Senator's voicemail was full the next morning.  Here is the clip they posted on Youtube yesterday:



Senator Bennet posted his own response video this afternoon.  In it he affirms that he IS for the repeal of DADT.



I'm sure the Senator had already made up his mind regarding the vote, but it's nice to see young people that wouldn't normally get involved politically lend their voice to the democratic process.
