CA SJR9

Urges the President and Congress to adopt the Military Readiness Enhancement Act of 2009 (H.R. 1283) and Military Readiness Enhancement Act of 2010 (S. 3065) to repeal the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy.

Cites that more than 13,000 service members have been discharged under "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," including 323 language specialists critical to national security, costing taxpayers between $250 million and $1.2 billion.

Notes that approximately 65,000 gay and lesbian service members are on active duty and 1,000,000 gay and lesbian veterans have served, with majority public support for repealing the policy.

Argues that military readiness is compromised by the discriminatory policy's arbitrary enforcement and that at least 24 allied nations allow open service by gays and lesbians.

Directs the Secretary of the Senate to transmit copies to the President, Congress members, and state legislative leaders.
