Dear CODEPINKer,
Coming up with a “kill list” using notes resembling baseball cards? Meeting on “Terror Tuesdays” to decide who lives and dies? Counting all military-age males in a drone strike zone as combatants to “minimize civilian casualties”? Saying that the decision to put an American on the hit list was “easy”? These recent revelations in the New York Times about President Obama's drone attacks are horrifying.
Join us in telling Obama to Kill the Kill List.
It seems the White House released this information about Obama's drone attacks as part of its election strategy, to portray the president as a tough guy for whom playing the role of prosecutor, jury, judge and executioner is all in a day's work.
Help us show the White House that this strategy is backfiring, that you are outraged and demand an end to this barbaric behavior that is killing so many innocent people.
 This week, I start touring nationally with my book Drone Warfare: Killing by Remote Control. Please get a copy and check out the tour stops at:
www.codepink.org/ booktour.
I look forward to meeting with CODEPINK members around the country and working together to kill the kill list and ground the lethal drones.
Thank you for taking action today to tell Obama to Kill the Kill List.
With determination to build a peaceful world,
Medea Benjamin
CODEPINK Co-director
PS In October CODEPINK is planning a trip to Pakistan to meet with drone attack survivors. If you are interested in joining us, please contact Alli.
