The short explanation of this alert was:
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.
