Long story short: tell the Biden Administration to make health insurance corporations cover over-the-counter birth control pills without prescriptions or co-pays, tell our government to stop hunters from going after wolves with vehicles, and tell our government to ban autonomous and AI weapons from the battlefield. Use the email/petition tools in the following paragraphs to communicate your will.
Daily Kos helps you tell the Biden Administration to mandate that health insurance corporations must cover over-the-counter birth control pills, with no prescription and no co-pay. After all, it’s safe and won’t be a controlled substance, so why would women need prescriptions? So someone can control them, I guess! But that’s not a good reason to do it. Personal to folks who claim “religious” “consciences” about the matter: I never demanded back my tax money used in the Iraq war, so you can sheathe that “conscience,” which is only meant to guide you anyway.
Environmental Action helps you tell our Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service to stop allowing hunters to go after wolves with vehicles. Even if hunters weren’t running over wolves with snowmobiles, it’s not very sporting, frankly, to give yourself such a tremendous advantage over your prey. I mean, they are trying to relive how their ancestors lived, are they not? Well, our ancestors didn’t use such high tech; I hope I never see the day hunters go after wolves with laser rifles. Personal to those who profess to worry about wolves eating cattle: we can’t solve problems with just any old solution.
Finally, Public Citizen helps you tell President Biden to forbid robot fighter jets and/or any other autonomous weapon from the battlefield. Remember the Star Trek episode “A Taste of Armageddon”? War was so easy for the aliens in that story – “targets” “destroyed” as if in a video game, with citizens willfully marching off to gas chambers afterward – that it went on for five centuries! Remember the Philip K. Dick short story “Second Variety”? The drones in that one started to wage war on humans – who are on the ropes when we come in – until ultimately starting to wage war on each other. Ultimately I bet autonomous weapons are like AI and bitcoin – scams for rich suckers. But why appease scam artists?
