Kirsten gets her Moxie on.....

  " When I knew which side my bread was buttered , I took the knife as well...."

My Jr. Senator steps up to the plate. Smart woman, she. Looks like some big big NY guns may be getting into the race to challenge Senator Gillibrand, who was appointed by Governor Patterson. Get the gays in your corner early, we unlike some, truly are fierce advocates!

( from Ms Brown's Daily Beast:)
"New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand is considering bringing the battle over "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" to the Senate this week, by introducing an amendment that would put an 18-month moratorium on the discharge of gays serving in the military, The Daily Beast has learned.
It would be the first time since the implementation of the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy in 1993 that senators are forced to declare their position on the gay ban. A Senate staffer familiar with the matter says Gillibrand may introduce her amendment on Tuesday to the Defense reauthorization bill. If the amendment were to pass, gay-rights leaders expect it would stand a strong chance of being approved by the House and could be signed into law by President Obama, who has expressed his desire for the ban to be lifted. Rep. Patrick Murphy is trying to build support for a bill that has already been introduced in the House that would repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"." ( rest of the story...)
