Rep. Emanuel Cleaver: Support the "Come Clean on Drones Killing" Bill!

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (MO-5)

People everywhere are remembering the horrors of war through the 100th anniversary of the beginning of WWI, and people in Missouri are no different.

In fact, Rep. Emanuel Cleaver has worked to have Kansas City's National World War I Museum designated as the “National World War I Museum and Memorial.”

Now we need Rep. Cleaver to do something about the horrors of war that are happening in the 21st century.

A bill is pending in Congress -- the The Targeted Lethal Force Transparency Act (HR 4372) -- also known as the "Come Clean on Drone Killing" Act. At this writing, quite a few of Rep. Cleaver's fellow progressive caucus members have become co-sponsors for the bill. So where is Rep. Cleaver?

Rep. Cleaver's constituents need to contact him and urge him to co-sponsor the bill today.
