Sam Nunn will lessen our chances to win in November. It is no secret that the Majority of LGBT voters favored Senator Clinton. In an effort to woo these people we need to petition the Obama camp to get rid of Nunn as a possible VP pick. These people will stay home rather than vote for someone like Nunn. He is a homophobe of the highest order.

And if you think the LGBT community can be taken for granted, think again. We are all very much plugged into this election and watching. At worst millions of LGBT voters will stay home, and we simply cannot afford that. Please spread the word, that ANYONE is better than Nunn.

Spread the, word....NUNN must go!

Nunn often voted with Jesse Helms

Nunn is generally regarded as a moderate to conservative. But he has a poor record on LGBT matters. He is most noted for using his position as Senate Armed Services Chair to undermine newly-elected President Bill Clinton’s promise to lift the ban on gays and lesbians serving in the military in 1993.

Unlike many involved in the negotiations that led to “don’t ask don’t tell,” including Clinton, Nunn has never reconsidered the law nor expressed regret for his role in creating it.

Nunn’s other LGBT Senate votes typically resembled those of moderate Republicans. When anti-LGBT votes or attacks on people with AIDS were cast, Nunn tended to vote with anti-gay Senator Jesse Helms of North Carolina.

He consistently voted to prohibit federal money from purchasing educational materials that “promoted” homosexuality or portrayed homosexuality as “normal.”

Nunn supported Helms’ amendments to give District of Columbia organizations that work with children the right to discriminate against gays and lesbians, and he opposed domestic partner benefits in the nation’s capitol.

The Georgian also voted for reductions in HIV and AIDS research and prevention funding, and to confirm the anti-gay Clarence Thomas to the U.S. Supreme Court. He voted for the ban on HIV positive immigrants that will be an issue in the current presidential race.

Nunn vehemently opposed gays and lesbians serving in the military. He challenged Clinton on his campaign promise to end the ban almost as soon as he was sworn in, by taking away Clinton’s ability to end the ban by executive order as planned and putting it in the hands of Congress.

The senator rallied other opponents and held

Nunn is Evil | Report to Admin

As a gay male and avid Obama supporter, I would strongly consider not voting for Obama if Nunn is the VP. Who says Nunn’s opinions have changed simply because he says it would be okay to “review” DA/DT again? What a slap in the face for the GLBT community!!!

You may have forgotten Nunn’s viciousness back then, but those of us who were harmed have not. If Nunn truly has changed his mind, then a very big apology would be in order.
