Please join members of The Sacramento Coalition to End the War and True Majority, tomorrow As we deliver 20,000 signatures to ask CalPERS to divest in war profiteer, KBR (former Halliburton subsidiary). Yesterday, the New York Times reported that a U.S. Army official who managed the Pentagon’s largest contract in Iraq said he was ousted from his job when he refused to approve paying more than $1 billion in questionable charges to KBR. Read the full story here. More details on why CalPERS should divest are below. Can you spend 30 minutes tomorrow morning to send the message that CalPERS should not invest in war profiteers? In solidarity! FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - June 18, 2008 20,000 petitioners ask CalPERS Thursday to get tough SACRAMENTO, CA – The California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS) will be asked by more than 20,000 petitioners to hold KBR – the largest contractor in Iraq – accountable for a growing list of misdeeds as a war profiteer when CalPERS meets Thursday at its Full Board meeting. | ||
