Title: War and Profits: Urgent Alert

-Caveat Lector-   Reign in War Profiteering: Call Your Senator Today   CauseNET for June 15, 2004   Something is wrong.  Every day, more information emerges about a disturbing trend in Iraq, private contractors enriching themselves at public expense.  Just today, more stories emerged about Halliburton, including a report by auditors at the Pentagon that found serious problems with overcharging and waste on contracts presently worth over $4 billion.  Next week, executives of the defense contractor are being called to testify before Congress on the growing scandal.   You CAN do something about it.  Call your Senators and ask them to support the Leahy Amendment to deter war profiteering.  You can reach the Senate switchboard at (202) 224-3121.   On Wednesday, June 16, Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) is expected to offer an amendment to the Department of Defense Authorization Bill (S. 2400) that will deter contractors from defrauding the government.  Leahy’s anti-war-profiteering amendment would subject contractors working abroad for Uncle Sam with stiff penalties – up to 20 years in jail and $1 million in fines – if they overcharged, cheated, or lied to the government.     We need strong bipartisan support for this amendment and we need your direct appeals to your Senators to push this forward.  So if you’re unhappy about contracting in Iraq, please call your Senators and ask them to vote for the Leahy anti-war profiteering amendment.   US Senate Switchboard: (202) 224-3121.   For more information on the just-released audit of Halliburton, see: http://www.sltrib.com/2004/Jun/06152004/nation_w/175543.asp   -or-   This story in the Boston Globe   Support Common Cause: http://www.commoncause.org/support      To Unsubscribe: You may unsubscribe from our mailing list at any time by visiting here. www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
