‘War Profiteer' Halliburton targeted
Thursday for major protest at its
high-security Woodland facility

WOODLAND – Controversial War Profiteer Halliburton has been targeted by
peace advocates for a regional protest here at the corporation's
mysterious, high-security facility THURSDAY, Nov. 8, beginning at 9 a.m. at
1990 Hays Lane (just off County Road 102 from I-5).

A news conference will be held at 9 a.m. Activists – including Iraq and
other veterans – from Sacramento, Davis-Yolo and even San Francisco are
expected to participate in the demonstration Thursday.

Halliburton is the first company in a new campaign to target corporations
who have become wealthy war profiteers, according to the Sacramento
Coalition to End the War, which earlier this year staged a 52-day sit-in a
Rep. Doris Matsui's office.

"Corporate war-profiteers line their pockets from the manufacture, sale and
support of killing machines. Our troops and Iraqi citizens die and
Halliburton continues to rake in huge profits. We don't need corrupt
war-profiteers in our cities, or our state," said Debra Reiger, a
spokesperson for the Sacramento Coalition to End the War.

Halliburton (www.HalliburtonWatch.org) has been the subject of numerous
high-profile audits which have shown the company has overcharged U.S.
taxpayers millions – perhaps billions – of dollars.
