Reps. Fattah and Cartwright: Support the "Come Clean on Drones Killing" Bill!

Rep. Chaka Fattah

People in Pennysylvania who oppose the U.S. program of drone killings in countries around the world have been vocal on calling on Congress -- especially Pennsylvania progressive members of Congress Chaka Fattah and Matt Cartwright -- to bring the Administration to heel.

Now 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. Fattah and Cartwrights' fellow progressive caucus members have become co-sponsors for the bill. So where are Reps. Fattah and Cartwright?

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

Rep. Matt Cartwright
