I don't have a problem with police using unweaponized drones to help them find someone who is lost or there is probable cause to think someone has committed a crime and they are trying to find or track them. I do have a problem with using drones for general surveillance of the general public - just snooping around all over the place - and I definitely don't like the idea of using weaponized drones in non-military situations (and I think they are way overused as assassination devices well away from active combat).
You could get involved with the ACLU. There are other groups organized specifically around this issue. Writing and calling your congressperson and senators won't hurt (you will probably get back a canned statement that is pretty much meaningless, but if enough people do contact them it may have some effect).
