WEDNESDAY, MAY 19, 8 AM
MEET AT ROOT MEMORIAL PARK, 1400 CLAY STREET, MARCH TO THE FOUR SEASONS HOTEL AT 1300 LAMAR STREET
HOUSTON, TEXAS
Vice President Dick Cheney's former company Halliburton has been the number one beneficiary of the invasion of Iraq, raking in some $9 billion in contracts to rebuild Iraq's oil industry and service the U.S. troops. Every other week, news reports document a pattern of fraud, waste, and corruption by Halliburton -- from alleged overcharges of $61 million for fuel and $24.7 million for meals to confirmed kickbacks worth $6.3 million. Meanwhile, Halliburton has failed to rebuild key oil infrastructure, provided shoddy services to U.S. troops in the field, and has taken jobs away from qualified Iraqi businesses and workers. Isn't it time for Halliburton's Iraq contracts to be revoked?

Join us in Houston on May 19 for a lively protest
