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.

    WE need to adopt Ron Paul’s ideas. We need an end to these needless wars which drain our treasuries and do nothing for our defense at home. Instead, find that 2.3 trillion that is still missing. ( Source: whereisthemoney.org )

    End the war in Afghanistan, bring our troops home and ask Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states to pay for their own contractors to defend their wells and pipelines.


    No more lives for oil.


    Support alternative energies like wind and solar. We should each have a wind turbine in our town(s) and each public utility company should be producing electricity with wind energy – which should ultimately make up at least 30-40% of all their electric power.


    Pay/subsidize utility companies within individual states to capitalize a wind turbine distribution system throughout the country.


    Wind is sustainable. It is just the initial capitalization that needs monetary assistance. Switch subsidies from oil and gas (which have unbelievable profits and avoid taxes on those profits), to alternative energies like wind and solar.


    Additionally, allow tax subsidies/credits for each household which chooses to install solar panels on their roofs to downsize their heat and electric bills.


    Downsize leasing offshore oil and gas rigs on public lands and at tax payer expense. These rigs are polluting our public waters and killing wildlife and fish, some of which are included in our food supply.


    The Congress should have fish every Friday, imported from the Gulf of Mexico. Let’s see how well they do and if they are willing to take a chance with their own health.

    Please support Rep. Dennis Kucinich’s H.Res. 819 bill calling for the release of the legal justification of U.S. drone strikes that have killed innocent civilians and children. The U.S. government’s drone policy cannot be kept secret from Congress and the American people.

    You must stop this needless slaughter of woman and children with the drones. This gives the US unlimited access to innocent people in the way of these horrible devices. It must STOP!!! No wonder people of other nations are against the US, can you blame them?
