DADT- Who Should We Thank?

Tomorrow one of the longest standing forms of discrimination will come to an end- Don't Ask, Don't Tell is over. But, who exactly should we be thanking? Well, Patrick Murphy (a former Penn. congressman) is high up on the list. Murphy was one of the democratic congressmen who lost his seat in the last election, partially due to his strong stance on this bill- sponsoring it and advocating that other support it because, "it was the right thing to do, even if it meant risking their jobs in Congress."  Now thats a congressman I can support! It is not very often we have congressmen who put politics aside and do whats right, shame it doesn't happen more often...
