Senate and House committees have sought from the Administration legal memos justifying the use of drone strikes outside any traditional theater of war, including those that target American citizens. In response, the Administration finally released some information, but is refusing to disclose more. It makes a difference what the policy is. Recent polls have indicated that most Americans wouldn't support drone strikes if there is a significant risk of civilian casualties, and wouldn't support broad targeting of anyone suspected of being associated with a militant group if they aren't a threat to the United States. The information that has been released so far shows that the Administration can release information to Congress and the public without compromising national security. We need to have an informed public debate about the drone strike policy, and to have an informed debate, we need to know what the policy is. Here's an article from the Huffington Post about the possibility of subpoena: Subpoenas For Drone Memos From House Judiciary Committee Has 'Bipartisan Interest' http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/27/drone-memos_n_2776036.html

Plan Merida is the USA's gift to modern Mexican history, and a President G.W. Bush foreign policy continued by President Obama. Plan Merida was activated with the help of Mexican President Calderon. In Mexico, tens of thousands of people have been killed , displaced and are missing since Plan Merida began.

Our one-sided backing of Israel leads to Arab hatred of us, acts of terrorism, expensive measures to guard against terrorism, and loss of civil rights. Continued tension expands our defense budget and makes our deficit worse. We pay more taxes, or lose vital services, or both. I suffer from all of these.

Every time we kill a terrorist we create ten more terrorists. We need to stop occupying Islamic countries with our military. They don't like it and they fight back the however they can. It is a never ending cycle.

Self-styled American Jewish leaders don't speak for me or the vast majority of American Jews. Stop giving them a platform to behave as arbiters of Jewish values, acceptable discourse about Israel or anti-Semitism.

I became very concerned about the fate of elephants and rhinos in the wild. Due to the insatiable demand for ivory and horns in Asian countries, China in particular, their numbers are dwindling by the minute and some direly predict that they'll go extinct in less than a decade. They are noble creatures and a vital part of our ecosystem, and we owe it to ourselves to preserve them for future generations.

America is struggling. We can't afford to feed, clothe, shelter and protect the rest of the world. We need to use our resources to take care of our own people in these tough economic times. Everyone talks about and argues about taxes, why in no one talking about the money sent outside our borders?

All of us have been adversely effected by state elected gov. officials becoming self important, corrupted by their positions of power and their loss of site of what is best for the state. They become concerned about being re-elected and overly influenced by special interest groups and large campaign donors . Term limits would go far in ending this cycle and would help to bring in fresh energy, ideas, and talent to these positions.

The issues surrounding the use of armed drones are many and complicated and the consequences of using them tragic and far-reaching. Do we as a nation really condone the loss of innocent life in the taking of terrorists by drone attack? What are we doing in Afghanistan? Are we at war? Are we an occupying force? The war on terrorism has become a morass into which we are dumping our humanity. We must re-think who we are as a nation and fellow human beings.

As a US citizen who has lived in Israel, I deplore the fact that our government sends billions annually to Israel as she continues to flout International Law and the Human Rights of her neighbors.

It's time to stop billion dollar yearly giveaways to Israel that allow the pursuit of illegl colonizing on the west bank and gifts to its military that have regularly rained down bombs on civilians in Gaza and encourage impunity for actions sucn as prison detainment without justification for thousands of palestinians. The uncritical support of Israeli exactions whether at the UN or in our media is backfiring both for Israeli citizens and for Palestinians who are yearning for peace, since there will shortly be no more Palestinian territory left to negotiate for.

Xenophobia and White farmer Genocide are serious problems in South Africa. Your vote can open the world's eyes and together we can make a change. Awareness first
