CITIZEN ALERT v1.190
H. R. 1362

With Halliburton packing up their war loot and heading out of town - scratch that - out of the country, I think it's fitting that Deputy Waxman is hot on their trail with his posse. Today, the House takes up H. R. 1362, The Accountability in Contracting Act.

It is supposed to limit the abuse of no bid contracters, increase the government oversight to catch crooks like Halliburton and also to help deter any further corruption when it comes to NGOs.

READ HR 1362 BY CLICKING IT.

Give it a read and if you like what you see, then call your representative and tell them to vote for it. The only thing I don't like about it is it looks like it's ONLY going after contracts over $1,000,000,000. This may be cause they're after Halliburton types, but I think they should look at ALL of the contracts. Still it's a start.
