Brave New Foundation | War Costs - Geri Philley at War Costs

Geri Philley signed 178 Petition via Geri Philley 2013-01-11 10:45:30 -0800

The use of drones for strikes and surveillance is immoral, alienating, abhorrent, irresponsible, inhumane, soulless, obscene, an abomination and just plain evil. I hate to think that we are becoming the bad guys. The ends do not justify the means. The only success that we will realize with drone strikes is in escalating the violence. When and where will it end?

There Must Be Accountability for U.S. Drone Strikes

The Bureau of Investigative Journalism, heralded as the leading authority for drone-strike casualty numbers by the recent report entitled Living Under Drones by Stanford and NYU researchers, reports 178 children have died in Yemen and Pakistan as a result of U.S. drone strikes. War Costs has produced a video and report on the topic.

Please consider joining us in our appeal to leaders of the U.S. House of Representatives to reintroduce H. Res. 819, which calls for more accountability and transparency for U.S. Drone policy.

Speaker Boehner and Minority Leader Pelosi,

H. Res. 819 calls for the release of the legal justification of U.S. drone strikes that have killed civilians in targeted areas, as numerous reports have detailed.

Please reintroduce this bill to the House floor this month, as too much of U.S. government's drone policy is kept secret from Congress and the American people.
