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.

John Boehner and Nancy Pelosi: Please re-introduce H. Res. 819 and stop this madness. It is the right and moral thing to do. Years from now, when people reflect on the history of this time…. America’s name and honor will be tainted by this violence. Mr. Boehner, Ms. Pelosi it is within your power to write the next chapter, one in which America wakes up an mends her ways. Please watch the film: Living Under Drones and imagine what these people’s lives must be like. Imagine if it was your life, your children’s lives. Please, do the right thing, for the sake of the children.
thank you, Charlotte Lindsey

1 death is too many. I don’t care about any perceived benefits that drone strikes produce. One innocent person should never be killed in an attempt to save others. It is illogical. It is wrong.

This superfluous bullshit is tarnishing America’s credibility and simply put, it needs to stop.

Committing these horrible offenses against humanity is deplorable. The fact that you flat-out lie about it to the American people to keep us placated is… I don’t think there’s a word terrible enough for that.
