280-mile walk planned to protest drones

The walk, which is being organized by Maine Veterans for Peace and the Maine Campaign to Bring Our War $$ Home, will average about 13 miles per day (some driving will be necessary in certain regions) between October 10 and 19; participants will be fed and housed by local hosts in the evenings. Organizers hope to bring public attention to the weaponized drones being used in places like Afghanistan, Libya, and Pakistan, as well as about how domestic use of drones is expanding.
