About this Petition Petition Letter Petition Updates

Did you know that a drone aircraft training facility is proposed for Wisconsin, as part of the state budget?  It would cost state taxpayers and further involve us in warfare that violates international law and causes immense human suffering.

Drone warfare constitutes extra-judicial killing, which violates the United Nations Charter, Geneva Conventions, Hague Conventions, and the principles of the Nuremburg Tribunal.  Drone warfare also terrorizes civilian communities.  One report estimated that approximately 2,000 people have been killed by drones over the last few years, with only 66 of the victims identified as members of al Qaeda.  This inflames anti-U.S. sentiment, making us less secure.

Please tell your state representatives to cut the drone aircraft facility from Wisconsin's budget!

Cut drone aircraft facility from the state budget!

Greetings,

I oppose the construction of an $8 million drone aircraft training facility at Camp Williams' Volk Field.

The use of drones in warfare violates international law and causes immense human suffering. Drones kill many innocent civilians and thus increase the number of people who want to retaliate against the U.S. for the loss of their loved ones. One report estimated that approximately 2,000 people have been killed by drones over the last few years, with only 66 of the victims identified as members of al Qaeda.

Please remove the drone facility from the state budget. In a time of budget shortfalls, it is not a wise use of our tax dollars.
