When is the signing?

[Tx4obama]

14. Wednesday 9:15 am ET.

From Politico.com

President Obama will sign the repeal of the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy on Wednesday at 9:15 a.m. during a ceremony at the Interior Department. The legislation to end the 17-year-old policy arrived on Obama's desk after being passed Saturday by the U.S. Senate.

18. Why the Interior Department?

That's odd

[Tx4obama]

22. They needed room for 500 people to attend, therefore the Interior Dept.

And the large rooms at the White House have Christmas trees and decorations in them.

13. Has Eric Alva been invited?

From Wiki:

Staff Sergeant Eric Fidelis Alva (born April 1, 1971) is the first Marine seriously injured in the Iraq Occupation.<1>

He was in charge of 11 Marines in a supply unit when, on March 21, 2003, he stepped on a land mine, losing his right leg.<2> He joined the United States Marine Corps in 1990 at the age of 19. He is a native of San Antonio, Texas.

Currently he is working with Democratic representative Martin Meehan of Massachusetts and a bipartisan group of representatives to Capitol Hill to reintroduce the Military Readiness Enhancement Act, legislation that would repeal the Pentagon's "don't ask, don't tell" policy regarding homosexual conduct. Alva also served as the Grand Marshall of the 2008 Chicago Gay and Lesbian Pride parade held on Sunday, June 29, 2008.

earned it.
