Independence Day - from DRONES!

We are seeing a groundswell of opposition in this country to drones killings and drone surveillance.

I N D E P E N D E N C E !

There are editorials against drones in local newspapers -- Chicago, Akron, Pittsburgh, and others -- and a new one seems to appear every day.

Grassroots networks to oppose drones killings and drone surveillance have sprung up in states like Illinois and Wisconsin:

No Drones Illinois
Twitter: @NoDronesIL

No Drones Wisconsin
Twitter: @NoDronesWI

Other states -- like New York and Nevada -- are the homes to longstanding drone opposition movements:

Upstate NY Coalition to Ground the Drones

Nevada Desert Experience

Leaders like Medea Benjamin will be in California, Oregon, New York, Maine, and other states in the weeks ahead to encourage the development of grassroots resistance to drones.

You can read more about the groundswell of drones resistance across the U.S. in this survey I prepared for Come Home America.

My prediction is that by the time the 4th of July rolls around, there will be grassroots networks established in most states, and the menace of drones will be in the front of everybody's minds.
