"In the past decade, the American people have remained mostly in the dark about the use of Unmanned Aerial Drones in the so-called 'War on Terror'. In an affront to the U.S. Constitution, this new technology has seen presidents wage remote control war on peoples and nations whom war was never declared or approved. If we are to believe that our own civil liberties were given to us at birth or by a higher power, we cannot also hold the belief that those fundamental human rights don't extend to every man and woman on the planet. We have a duty to speak up against the crimes against humanity our leaders are committing." Aaron Mathis Editor of The Libertarian Review
"Drone warfare, like all unjust war, flies in the face of liberty and human dignity. The Clear Skies Initiative sends a clear message that drones need to be taken out of commission." Norman Horn, LibertarianChristians.com
The Clear Skies Initiative makes the following demands of all federal, state, and local legislative bodies:
1. Publicly acknowledge that drone strikes and any method of indiscriminate killing are unacceptable as a weapon of war.
2. Dismantle all drone bases, foreign and domestic, including the one that was exposed in Saudi Arabia in February 2013.
3. Repudiate the so-called "Drone Memo" and affirm their commitment to the legal standards of evidence and due process.
4. Adopt measures similar to those passed in Charlottesville, VA banning the use of drones by domestic agencies.
5. Offer reparations to the families of all past victims of drone strikes who cannot be substantiated as active combatants.
