Cindy Sheehan to spearhead CodePINK’s DAWN to DUSK NO DRONES Creech AFB

Anti-war activists promise that Monday morning at Creech Air Force Base in the Mojave Desert will not be another “business as usual” day for those 250+ soldiers who drink their coffee, kiss the kids goodbye, leave home to go to their computer terminals, grab their joy sticks, and direct DRONES thousands of miles away to murder people in Pakistan, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

Monday will be the third and longest day of the Take 5 Days of ACTION Against the DRONES protests planned at the base by people from all over the country committed to taking action against the use of these DRONES by the U.S. military to spy on, hunt down, and then kill people.

DRONES are rapidly changing the face of war, according to the military themselves. In 2009, the US military had a couple hundred DRONES; by Jan 2009, 7000 DRONES were in operation and six months later that number skyrocketed to 12,000.

The US military intends to increase the DRONES force to be at least 15% of the fighting force. Soldiers and politicians favor the DRONES because it means eliminating other human beings with no risk at all to American lives, although the problem of the high rate of civilian death is ‘concerning’.

“For every one ‘bad guy’ assassinated”, says CodePINK activist Janet Weil, “50 civilians are also murdered. This is unconscionable. Let's stand in solidarity with the peoples of Afghanistan , Iraq and Pakistan .”
