In Honor Of Helms

By The Daily Dish

This is worth doing:

I think a great way for all LGBT people to “honor” Jesse Helms at this moment is to make sure that this law is repealed. We cannot allow a pause due to reflection or “respect.” So call your Congressmen and Senators and tell them that the HIV ban must go and you support the PEPFAR legislation which removes the HIV travel and immigration ban. We need to make sure that Helms’ death accelerates this repeal rather than slows it down.

Email your senator if you agree. The vote is coming up. Details on the bipartisan bill here. Here's a directory to Senate email addresses.
