Mr. Nicholson and John Doe, are you aware of any other members of the Log Cabin Republicans who have been harmed by Don't Ask, Don't Tell? A I've heard stories. I don't know that I can

recall the exact names of people. Q Well, do you know the names of any of the

individuals? A I don't think so. I think it's difficult to

determine which ones were telling the story during the time of Don't Ask, Don't Tell or the time before Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Q Now, we looked earlier at Exhibit 36, which is And I believe you

the survey that you conducted.

testified that you purposely made that survey anonymous. Correct? A Q Yes. Would there be any way to determine the

identities of the individuals that are referenced in Exhibit 36? A Q I don't believe so. Did you undertake any effort to determine one

way or the other the truth of the statements that we see in Exhibit 36?

direct your attention to a few pages, and they've been identified as LCR 1 through 17. If you look at page 5,

do you see the fifth member there identified as veteran under the heading, "What is your military service status?" and then there's another column which asks, "Have you been negatively impacted by the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy?" this veteran says "Yes, in other ways"?

currently serving members -- well, strike that. Are you aware of a circumstance in which a Log Cabin Republicans member has made a statement that he or she is gay or lesbian and that statement has been used for a purpose other than to show a propensity to engage in homosexual conduct or acts? A Q Could you repeat the question, please? Have you read Judge Phillips's June 9 order

granting in part and rejecting in part the government's motion to dismiss in this case? A Q I believe so. Are you aware that she ruled that with respect

to the First Amendment claim, that the Log Cabin has the right to pursue a claim in which statements have been used for a purpose other than an admission under the policy? A Q Yes. And my question to you is, are you aware of any

member of the Log Cabin Republicans that would fit within that category? A Q Other than what I've seen in the survey, no. And do you see anything in the survey that

would suggest that?

interpretation of speech, and every last one of these that I read could fit under free speech, as far as I'm concerned. Q That's my personal opinion. But my question to you, do

question, because it's so insidious that in my opinion, it could be used in all sorts of different ways, and probably -- I don't know. Q My question to you is, do you see anything in

the survey in which it has been used for a purpose other than what I just described? MR. WOODS: Same objection.

You can answer. THE WITNESS: It seems to me, as I was reading

through this and trying to keep your question in mind, was that if they answered the question yes, in other ways have you been negatively impacted, that that meant that they had not been terminated already. So

obviously, someone who is currently serving is still operating under these situations, where they have to either lie or prevent the truth from coming out. And I

don't know what the government or the military might use, or whether they have used it, based on those statements. Q It's not clear to me. But in the circumstance you were just

you used, a software program or something of that sort? A Q A Q Yes. What is it called? It's called SurveyMonkey. And do you have any reason to believe that the

comments that were provided in response to the survey under the column, "Tell us what happened" are not true? A Q No. Do you have any reason to believe that the

"Tell us what happened," say this: "I was actually discharged twice, once for annulling my marriage to a woman; the second time, I spoke out against former chairman of the joint chiefs General Peter Pace when he was quoted as saying that gays were immoral in 2007." Having now focused on that particular response to the survey, do you believe that that response may at least fit into the category of the First Amendment claims in this case? A Q I do. Then directing your attention to page 4 of the

survey response, the second item there under the column, "Tell us what happened," is rather lengthy, but it basically has to do with a naval flight officer that served for over six years who appears to have been discharged once it was discovered that he listed himself as gay on a MySpace page.

This article constitutes inadmissible double hearsay. See e.g., Green v. Baca, 226 F.R.D. 624, 637 (C.D. Cal 2005) ("Generally, newspaper articles and television programs are considered hearsay under Rule 801(c) when offered for the truth of the matter asserted. Even when the actual statements quoted in a newspaper article constitute nonhearsay, or fall within a hearsay exception, their repetition in the newspaper creates a hearsay problem. Thus, statements in newspapers often constitute double hearsay.).
