The Resurrection of Public Humiliation, "Republicans For Rape"

By now most everyone should has heard of Al Franken’s ‘Anti-Rape Amendment’ to a Defense Appropriations bill. The amendment specifically prevents the U.S. government from doing business with contractors that force their employees to waive the right to civil trials over certain matters that might fall under the category 'human resource disaster scenarios'.

This matter came to light after former KBR employees Jamie Leigh Jones and Dawn Leamon were raped and neglected while deployed in Iraq. Ms. Jones’ story, as told here in great detail by ABC, is one of gang-rape and imprisonment. She finally got word to her father who contacted Congressman Ted Poe. He was able to convince the State Department to dispatch U.S. Embassy Agents that then retrieved Ms. Jones from her employer.

Jaime, Dawn and their fellow KBR victims have little recourse now because of the contracts they signed when they entered employment with the company. KBR, a subsidiary of Halliburton, places a stipulation in each contract that forces employees with such grievances to enter a binding arbitration with no public record or jury.

Now, I’m never going to be elected President of the Al Franken fan club, in fact, Norm Coleman would probably be a selected before me. That said, I can’t understand how an elected official would ever vote against this amendment. However, this question can now be asked of 30 Congressmen, all men, all Republicans, including former presidential candidate John McCain and Hall of Fame Phillies pitcher Jim Bunning.

For their presumably poor decision, each man has been placed on public display here at RepublicansForRape.org, running your cursor over each photo reveals that mans phone number.
