Rep. Jared Polis: Support the "Come Clean on Drones Killing" Bill!

In March, 2013, Rep. Jared Polis (CO-2) co-sponsored HR 637 - "a bill to provide civil liberties and privacy protections for Americans against the unmanned aerial vehicles." (See "First Two Members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus Support Anti-Drone Legislation")

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

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

Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Walter Jones (R-NC) submitted a bill calling for drone transparency. So ... are we finally going to get the truth?
