Bring your own sign, or use one of ours! Dress as a Pirate or a Gitmo detainee, or use your own imagination. If you've a Halliburton Bubble Suit, Wear it! We'll have some Hallibacon Bucks that we could deliver to their office -- *if we're allowed in, with a file to help them Increase Sales and perhaps Cut out the Middle Man, which is our Govt. We'll pay them directly. We want KBR to build prisons in Every Neighborhood! *Satire. Halliburton is relocating just in time to dodge investigations into their corporate cronyism. They are under the microscope for bribery, bid rigging, defrauding the military and illegal business practices with Iran. It is like they are fleeing the scene of a crime. We have to hold them accountable!! We chased them down last year when they tried to hide in rural Oklahoma and we will continue to pursue them as long as they are trying to run away from answering to governmental oversight, taxpayers and the military for their business practices in Iraq. Halliburton is taking millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars and running away. Their friends in the Bush administration have allowed these shameless war profiteers to make record profits by giving US troops contaminated water, and engaging in gross negligence that has left them with the blood of countless of Iraqi civilians, blue collar workers, and US service personnel on their hands. Here's some background on Wednesday's actions in Houston. http://www.houstonglobal.org/ Katie Heim, with Houston Global Awareness and Jeff Gruebler, with the Ronald Reagan Home for the Criminally Insane talk about the ongoing campaign against Halliburton as well as this year's soiree. http://www.houstonglobalawareness.org http://www.halliburtonwatch.org Brief intro to post 9/11: For Federal prison contracts given to KBR, Halliburton spinoff: Immigration Detention Centers: For Iraq Fraud settlement see: DOJ Release on former KBR employee accepting Kuwait Kickbacks: Peace through Justice through Truth, |
