Call today, Sen. AL FRANKEN will try to hold Halliburton & Defense Contractors responsible . . .
CALL if you can to have your Senators support this amendment --

No more! Today, the Senate will vote on an amendment offered by Sen. Franken, S.A. 2588, to the Department of Defense Appropriations Act to stop defense contractors from forcing employees with sexual assault and discrimination claims into arbitration.

No one -- especially a victim of a heinous, violent crime -- should be denied access to a judge and jury because of a binding mandatory arbitration clause in a contract. Please help us pass this important amendment to end this abuse of power by government defense contractors!
