Rep. Steve Cohen: Support the "Come Clean on Drones Killing" Bill!

Rep. Steve Cohen, representing Tennessee's 9th congressional district, has been a strong voice opposing U.S. war and militarism -- for instance as a member of the Out-of-Iraq Congressional Caucus.

We need Rep. Cohen to be a strong voice against drone assassination, too.

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. Cohen's fellow progressive caucus members have become co-sponsors for the bill. So where is Rep. Cohen?

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