Subject:Fw: HALLIBURTON PROFITEERING- IMPEACH CHENEY
Date: Fri, 4 Apr 2003 23:46:43 -0800
Dear Friends,
While I applaud the effort to impeach Bush, who richly deserves it, I feel
that Cheney is an easier target right now. He lacks the personal
popularity
of Bush, and is very vulnerable to charges of self-dealing. He is still on
salary with Halliburton, which is getting lucrative contracts to supply
tents and other support to the troops in Iraq right now, and for
rebuilding
and cleaning up later.
Cheney is one of the principal hawks who pushed for this war. Getting
rid
of him would do everyone a favor, and show that the administration is not
as
monolithic a force as it likes to appear. Bush may not be too fond of
him,
and may not fight too hard to keep him. Cheney bragged a few days
before
the invasion that it would be "a piece of cake", and is partly responsible
for the gross miscalculation and subsequent loss of life that this invasion
has already cost to both the coalition forces and the Iraqi people.
Many Republicans as well as Democrats are very upset and frustrated
with the
administration's actions. While they feel they have to support the
commander-in-chief while the country is at war, they might be willing to
start cleaning up the flagrant graft that is going on by impeaching
Cheney.
Peace, Carol Wolman

Subject: EMAIL HALLIBURTON - NO PROFITEERING
Despite protests from lawmakers citing conflict of interest, the U.S. Army
has awarded a lucrative wartime contract to a subsidiary of the
Halliburton
Corporation. In the past, the company has been investigated for over
billing
the U.S. government and just a year ago paid $2 million to settle fraud
charges with the Justice Department.
The contract, for oil field firefighting and rebuilding in Iraq, was awarded
without competitive bids. Vice President Dick Cheney resigned as chief
executive of the oil concern in 2000 to join the Republican Presidential
ticket, but Halliburton is still paying Cheney “deferred compensation” of
up
to $1 million a year.
It’s unseemly and unpatriotic for corporations with close ties to
administrative officials like Vice President Dick Cheney to profit from
Bush’s decision to unilaterally attack Iraq.
Call to action - email [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Tell David J. Lesar, CEO of Halliburton, to dispel the appearance of
wartime
profiteering by donating the profits from its lucrative Army contracts to
aid humanitarian relief efforts in the region.
Deadline: Ongoing
SAMPLE:
Dear David J. Lesar,
With American servicemen and women dying in Iraq, it’s unseemly and
unpatriotic for corporations with close ties to administrative officials
like Vice President Dick Cheney to profit from Bush’s decision to
unilaterally attack Iraq.
I hope you will demonstrate a commitment to the American people and
victims of this war by pledging to donate the profits from your lucrative
Army contract to aid humanitarian relief efforts in the region.
Please let me know how you intend to address this matter.
Sincerely,
