Yes, Virginia, We Can Do Something About the Drone Strikes

via (title unknown) by jacob on 6/2/12

Robert Naiman

There's a conventional wisdom in Washington that there's nothing we can do politically to stop the U.S. government from killing innocent civilians with drone strikes.

But it ain't necessarily so.

Join CIVIC, Amnesty International in Opposing Drone Strikes that Kill Civilians

This week, the New York Times reported that the U.S. government has declared by fiat that it will count any "military-age male" killed by a U.S. drone strike as a "combatant" unless it is proved otherwise. That helps explain how U.S. officials could claim that few "civilians" have been killed by U.S. drone strikes.

Reps. Dennis Kucinich and John Conyers are circulating a Congressional letter to President Obama, pressing the Administration to communicate with Congress about U.S. policy on drone strikes, particularly concerning civilian casualties and so-called "signature strikes" against unknown people. The Campaign for Innocent Victims in Conflict, Amnesty International and other groups are pressing the Administration on the same demands. Pressing the Administration to speak honestly and openly with Congress and the American people about its drone strike policy is the first step to stopping the U.S. from killing and harming civilians with drone strikes.

Join me in urging your Representative to sign the Kucinich-Conyers letter demanding transparency in the drone strike policy.

Push button. Save planet.

Hello,

The climate movement is about to take a giant step forward: The EPA has proposed the first national standard to limit carbon pollution. This is exciting: And we have a petition for you to show your support.

http://forms.climaterealityproject.org/push-button-save-planet-taf

Carbon pollution is causing the climate crisis. That weird, dirty weather you’ve been having – blame carbon pollution. Where does this pollution come from? The answer is simple: 40% of all carbon pollution in the United States comes from power plants.

If this rule goes into effect, no new dirty, climate-change-causing power plants will be built.

So, now that you’re up to speed, what do you say? Will you tell the EPA you support the first-ever limit on carbon pollution? It’s easy. Just sign our petition to show your support:

http://forms.climaterealityproject.org/push-button-save-planet-taf

Thank you!

Tell Governer O'Malley to Strengthen Regulations to Protect the Bay!

Dear Friend,

I just contacted Governor O'Malley and asked him to strengthen regulations to protect the Bay from agricultural waste.

Food & Water Watch recently released emails that revealed an alarmingly close relationship between Governor O'Malley and Perdue's general counsel, Herb Frerichs. It seems that O'Malley has been letting Frerichs's influence shape his environmental policy, leading to a very lax approach to dealing with agricultural waste.

Please join me in telling Governor O'Malley to stop pandering to the chicken industry by directing the Maryland Department of Agriculture to strengthen its regulations.

Sincerely,

Take action here: http://action.foodandwaterwatch.org/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=10621

Stop the NRA's Lead-poisoning Legislation

Lawmakers with the Congressional Sportsmen's Caucus have introduced the misguided Sportsmen's Heritage Act of 2012 that would perpetuate the lead poisoning of wildlife like bald eagles, condors and swans. It would prevent the Environmental Protection Agency from enforcing federal regulations that control toxic substances and protect wildlife and people.

The bill ignores the mountain of scientific evidence that lead ammunition and fishing tackle cause the poisoning of at least 130 animal species. It's being pushed by powerful gun lobby groups like the National Rifle Association, and it writes off the health of low-income venison donation beneficiaries and 10 million hunters and their families who will remain at risk of lead exposure.

More than 150 organizations in 38 states have called on the EPA to regulate toxic lead in ammunition and fishing gear under the Toxic Substances Control Act, which would prevent millions of birds and other wildlife from slow, painful deaths each year.

Take action now and help us stop the NRA's toxic legislation by contacting your representatives -- ask them to oppose this deadly legislation.

Our internet is at risk

Hi there!

Our internet is at risk, and I need you to join me in protecting it.

Right now, a closed UN institution, the International Telecommunications Union, is seeking to reverse decades of precedent and give governments greater control over the internet. That means that the internet that you and I have come to love -- the one that has flourished over the years because it's decentralized and open -- is being threatened.

The ITU is meeting soon, but won't release its negotiating plans to the public. I just signed the Access petition calling on the ITU to make its plans public and to leave the internet open and decentralized. I think you should too. Click the link below for more information:

War profiteers against disclosure?

Should war profiteering corporations like drone manufacturer Northrop Grumman be permitted to secretly fund elections?

Of course not. But that’s just one of the scarier implications of S. 1100, an appalling bill passed by the Senate Homeland Security committee that would prevent the government from requiring federal contractors to disclose money they’re spending to influence elections.

Let's fight this corporate corruption loophole.

Obama OKs Proliferation of US "Hunter-Killer" #Drone Technology - #drones

via (title unknown) by Craig Brown on 5/29/12

The Wall Street Journal is reporting today that the Obama administration plans to arm Italy's fleet of Reaper drone aircraft, a move that would open the door for sales of advanced hunter-killer drone technology to other countries.

Obama's decision to provide the advanced hunter-killer drone technology for Italy's unarmed drones will make it hard for the US to deny the same technology to others, and set back efforts to urge sales limitations on other nations that are marketing sophisticated hunter-killer drones such as Israel.
