About this Petition Petition Letter

Blackwater= A paid mercenary force. Owned by a right wing religious fanatic that feels he is on a crusade to kill all non Christians worldwide.

It is only rumor but makes sense. They started, support, fight and kill to continue the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Makes sense their business is fighting wars if it ended they would have nothing to do. Except kill people that do not follow the prescribed path and they are immune to our laws thanks to Bush II....

There are rumors that Blackwater is actually insuring the war goes on. This above the law mercenary force is out of control. They kill civilians and do not report to any military commander.

To me if you have people that profit from war it is a bad thing. Plus the person running Blackwater is a right wing christian fanatic. He is on a personal crusade to kill all non Christians financed by our tax money. How can we be spending billions supporting such a outlaw force. Some have stated it is against the constitution. yet our leaded who was to change things just increased their contract by 29%. 

I support our troops although I feel this war will go in the history books as another waste of our boys and billions of our money (like Nam). Some say to protect the Poppy fields and drug trade these countries make their money from. It has been prov-en the CIA used cocaine profits to fight the contras ignoring the congress and the American people. No wonder we are so hated around the world.

Blackwater has hit squads that thanks to Bush cannot be prosecuted they are above all laws. So basically our lawmakers could use this force to eliminate vocal opponents such as myself. This concerns me much more than any of the so called terrorist in Iraq....

Take the profit out of war!

Dear Representative

We need to quit supporting Blackwater. These mercenaries are growing and are above the law thanks to Bush. Our troops are loosing their homes and having to file bankruptcy while Blackwater killers make six figure incomes. This force scares me they kill civilians and give our country a bad name.
