Stop the Drones!

Hoping to stop the drone command center from opening about 50 people came out to protest on May 31, 2014. We stood outside of the Horsham Air Guard Station in Horsham, PA waving signs, listening to moving speeches, and doing a little singing. High wind prevented me from using my video camera (the audio was the problem, it just records noise in high wind). Below are pictures of the event:

Protesting the Killer Drones

The description from the Facebook event page reads:

It has been announced that a multi-million-dollar Drone Command Center will be established by Oct. 1 at the Horsham Air Guard Station, controlling deadly Hunter/Killer MQ-9 "Reaper" Drones. These drones have killed over 4,700 people in countries we are not at war with, including countless innocent women and children. This program is creating new enemies and perpetuating endless war. Don't just take our word for it - for articles, information, and links, please visit www.dronefreehorsham.com. Find out what you HAVEN'T been told about this terrible program. Drones are killing innocent people & inciting hatred of our country. This is our back yard. Please do not turn away from your obligation to become knowledgeable about this proposed facility. Stand up, speak out, and demand better for our community, our families and our country. The time is now - STOP IT BEFORE IT STARTS.  https://www.facebook.com/events/260643417401157/
