CHALLENGING DRONOTOPIA - War Is A Crime .org

2. Send all the campaign contributions that you have received from drone makers and
drone-related businesses to agencies providing aid to survivors of U.S. drone attacks.
Based on our analysis of data provided by Open Secrets.org, we estimate that you have
received at least $147,525 for your 2012 run for Congress from entities doing dronerelated
work. We believe that accepting campaign contributions from arms makers,
particularly during a time of war when thousands are being killed is a gross conflict of
interest, violating basic ethical standards.
(See Attachment B for supporting information.)
3. Resign from the Unmanned Systems Caucus in the U.S. Congress, a caucus that is
essentially nothing more than a lobbying arm of the drone industry in the Congress.
4. Introduce legislation that will ban campaign contributions and lobbying by arms
makers in the U.S. Congress.
5. Introduce legislation repealing the drone-related sections of the recently-passed FAA
Reauthorization and Reform Act and the National Defense Authorization Act because
these sections, taken together, expose the U.S. public to: unlimited violations of the right
to privacy, intimidation of those exercising their right to peacefully assemble and to
extremely serious, and possibly insoluble, safety issues.
