The Green Party called for an immediate halt to all drone warfare and for the Obama Administration to comply with the Constitutions assignment of war powers to Congress. The White House has usurped the legislative branchs control over war, by having the CIA wage targeted drone warfare against Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia outside of Congresss oversight, said Howie Hawkins, Green candidate for Governor of New York. Mr. Hawkins is from Syracuse, where drones on combat missions are controlled out of Hancock Air National Guard Base. The Obama Administration says its reducing the use of drones. We demand a complete end to drone strikes, which are killing civilians and, by inciting hostility against the U.S., placing Americans at potential risk of reprisal, said Mr. Hawkins.
