On Tuesday morning (April 23), the US Senate will hold its first-ever hearing on drones and the killing program in which an estimated 4,700 people across two continents have been killed, including four American citizens. This vast killing program is unlawful, dangerous, and unwise. Amazingly, the Obama administration continues to hide its legal memos on when it believes any president can order the Pentagon and the CIA to kill people far from any battlefield.
Senator Franken sits on the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Human Rights, which is holding the hearing.
Send Senator Franken a clear, strong message that you are watching and are expecting him to ask the hard questions about the government's secret killing program.
The hearing will take place on Tuesday, April 23, at 10:00 a.m. EST. You can tune in to the hearing to learn more. In the meantime, please ask Senator Franken to raise the tough questions and join the fight for the values of transparency and accountability that keep our nation safe, just, and free.
Thank you for taking action.
Apr 25, 2013 | With the opening of the George W. Bush presidential library in Dallas, Texas today, there has been some creative re-telling of history and the Bush legacy — a legacy full of terrible consequences, intended and otherwise, that we’re still having to deal with to this very day.

April 20, 2013 | The way I see it, we had two acts of terrorism in the US this week. The first took place at the end of the historic Boston Marathon, when two bombs went off near the finish line, killing three and seriously injuring dozens of runners and spectators. The second happened a couple days later in the town of West, Texas, where a fertilizer plant blew up, incinerating or otherwise killing at least 15, and injuring at least 150 people, and probably more as the search for the dead and the injured continues.
