Maybe "ban" was the wrong word to use. As pointed out there will be drones used over US skies. The important part is the regulation of how and when they can be used. In Washington State there is H.B. 1771 which is intended to regulate the use of drones but I don't really understand how I can personally support civilian groups working towards this goal.
I realize the discussion could be widened to other surveillance technology but I think that would be best kept to a second thread of discussion. This thread was started with the intention of discovering how to personally impact drone use over US soil.
Again, thank you for helpful comments. Ted may be right about contacting my representatives but I agree that I would probably just get a canned letter back. There has to be a group with teeth to support. Maybe this is why corporations run our government and not citizens. We don't seem to have our own lobby groups.
