POGO-- Project on Government Oversight-- is running a grassroots campaign for wartime contract reform. Billions of dollars have been lost due to mismanagement of financial contracts between Congress and private companies in the battle against terrorism. Here's the message from POGO asking for your action; the U.S. Senate bill number is S 1825:
Congress has recently taken great strides toward holding wartime contractors accountable. Last week Senators James Webb (D-VA) and Claire McCaskill (D-MO) introduced a legislative initiative to establish an independent and bipartisan Commission on Wartime Contracting. POGO sent Senators Webb and McCaskill a letter to offer support for the bill, which would help to alleviate the burden placed on taxpayers due to waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement of wartime contracts.
The bill is currently at a crucial juncture; we need your help to ensure its passage. Please call or write your Senators today and ask them to support "The Commission on Wartime Contracting Act" (S. 1825) so that wartime contractors can be held to account for their misconduct.
Sincerely,
Danielle Brian, Executive Director, Project On Government Oversight
