original description
Yesterday was a pretty busy day at Netroots Nation. There were quite a few elected officials at the conference doing panels and spending time just talking to us. I caught up with Rep. Patrick Murphy, the sponsor HR 1283, the bill to repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell. We did a live chat with him a couple weeks ago. He's really optimistic about the chances for his legislation this year -- and is expecting a vote in the House. I also got a chance to talk to Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY). I've written many times that in some ways, he's the best LGBT member of Congress (even though he's straight.) In September, he's going to offer the legislation to repeal DOMA. As we get closer to that, Nadler promised to keep in touch and let us know his strategy -- and how we can help. He really gets that repealing DOMA is what most of us really want. I have to say, I was quite impressed by Nadler. He's also been integrally involved with the health care debate working very hard to make sure the progressives stick together for the best possible bill, which includes a public option.
