Katrina Money for Halliburton? How Dare They!

Halliburton Corporation -- Vice President Dick Cheney's former company -- received a $30 million contract to clean up after Hurricane Katrina. Lobbyists are lining up to grab profits for their clients without having to competitvely bid for Katrina reconstruction work. Some contracts will be worth hundreds of millions of dollars, maybe even billions.

Companies like Halliburton shouldn't be able to cash in on their political connections to steal a profit after Hurricane Katrina.

Send a message to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff demanding that he establish a competitive, but streamlined, bidding process to stop the hurricane profiteering. You can cut the red tape without resorting to cronyism.

1. $300 million in Contracts for Louisiana Dem Chair Jim Bernhard

Jim Bernhard is chair of Louisiana Democratic Party and CEO of the Shaw Group. The Shaw Group will be the firm in charge of awarding all FEMA contracts in the Katrina mess.

Guess we've got 'em beat 10 to 1 (and control of lots of other contracts, too!)

2. 300 million? Out of 50 billion, a lousy 300 mil?

Less than one percent?

Oh sure. We've got them beat, alright.

That's 300 million "dems shut the fuck up about contracts" dollars, pally.
