Today  Gay advocacy  groups intend to launch a nationwide campaign to repeal the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy,  holding President Obama to his one line in a 71 minute speech,  which called for a repeal of the military's "don't ask, don't tell"  policy for homosexuals. 

  The line was delivered  during Wednesday's State of the Union address.

"This year, I will work with Congress and our military to finally repeal the law that denies gay Americans the right to serve the country they love because of who they are," Obama said.

The Washington Post has pointed out that the line was similar to Obama's campaign pledges,  and did not set any particular timeline nor did the president promise to use his executive powers in repealing the legislation.  

The Human Rights Campaign will launch its “Voices of Honor” campaign with plans to mobilize veterans and build campaigns in states essential to input to the House and Senate for the repeal of the DADT legislation.  

This is the organization's response to Obama's pledge within the SU address;  There are many others:  

 Also energizing for action is Courage Campaign,  a gay rights group which payed close attention to the President's words last night.
