It's Time to Fire Blackwater
Target:
Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi
Sponsored by:
It has become clear that Blackwater USA has become a threat to any hope for peace in Iraq. How can Iraqi citizens possibly feel safe when a paramilitary organization, which seems to answer to no one, is running lose on their streets.
There is enough documented evidence to prove that Blackwater's tactics as well as their attitude toward the Iraqi people and culture are inappropriate, to say the very least.
The recent incident involving Blackwater contractors opening fire in a predominantly Sunni neighbourhood, killing eight and wounding 13 civilians is the straw that breaks the camels back.
Does the US Government really want to run the risk of Blackwater USA starting WW III?
It's time for the US Congress to demand that the Department of State and the Department of Defense cancel all contracts with Blackwater USA and order them to depart Iraq immediately.
If you agree please sign this petition. It's time to end Blackwater's terror for profit.

Dear Madam Speaker,
It has become clear that Blackwater USA has become a threat to any hope for peace in Iraq. How can Iraqi citizens possibly feel safe when a paramilitary organization, which seems to answer to no one, is running lose on their streets. How is this making America safer?

Does the US Government really want to run the risk of Blackwater USA starting WW III?
On behalf of concerned citizens everywhere, we urge Congress to take action requiring the Department of Defense to cancel all contracts with Blackwater USA and order them to depart Iraq, immediately.
Thank you

I think it is way past time to eliminate Blackwater USA from the service of the US government.

I am very relieved that there are so many people who also care about these atrocious crimes commited by Blackwater. It should not be allowed to continue to walk all over the Iraqi officials as it has continued to do so far. Thank you for taking this into consideration, and I hope we are able to make a positive change for the future.

Since when does America give anyone a license to kill? It must stop and the criminals must face justice.
# 228:
How can this President and Vice President get away with everything they have done. 2 men versus 6 billion people come on now. Blackwater is Bush and Cheney's private army and needs to be disband for the sake of America.
# 227:
Are we no longer a nation of law and order? Blackwater is out of control. After hurricane Katrina Eric Prince sent a small army of mercinaries to the flood stricken areas without any authorization from any Government agency and then charged the American taxpayers $900 a day per man. These people are LAWLESS and need to be stopped immediately. It will be too late after 17 or 18 of your family members are machine gun blasted to pieces.
# 226:
Get rid of Blackwater and strip them of any rights to run their business. Make it illeagle!
# 225:
FIRE BLACKWATER NOW
# 224:
Murder, rape and theft are crimes. Blackwater has to go.

Blackwater (BW) mercenaries are the privatized military of corporatist death-profiteers who want WW3. In New Orleans, BW seized American citizens' weapons, forced us into the streets, & fired on those trying to flee death-by-FEMA. How "convenient" that BW's desired new site is being "cleared" by the Calif. fires (Portrero area; suspected arson). Our National Guard & military are uselessly dying of violence, radiation sickness, & no healthcare. The corporatists want to kill our legitimate military, who won't harm fellow Americans, & replace them with BW psychopaths. Fascism needs a thug class to do its treason-work, & BW is willing to murder Americans & our land, Constitution, & ideals to turn a buck & gratify their own mental disease. ENOUGH. Join the general strike on Nov. 6 to protest BW & all other corporatist destruction of America, Iraq, & the Earth. Don't go to work or school; don't buy Anything, & don't use gasoline or utilities. ENOUGH.

Blackwaters role should be severely restricted to security guard duty ONLY. If not take them out of the country. Also it's a waste of taxpayers money, that's what we have an army for. |
# 215:
This petition speaks to Blackwater but should also list any mercenary group (referred to as 'security contractors'). This includes Triple Canopy, DynaCorp, etc. Bring our troops and our dollars back home.........

# 213:
unbelievable
# 212:
No person should be able to operate without liability of their actionns
# 211:
After reading and watching Bill Moyers Journal on this issue,I truely don't see how anyone can support this private army,its time for them to go before they become a force impossible to get rid of
# 210:
Please fire the Blackwater. Enough is enough...
# 209:
# 208:
Congress should be investigating these companies and rectifying the legislation that allows such limited oversight.
# 207:
# 206:
if rumsfeld hadnt cut back on the size of the military, we wouldnt be needing blackwater. as in the past,those tasks were done by military - but they are way to expensive (how much do blackwater contractors make again)
# 205:
This is a very very dangerous development...the military force for the current corporate takeover and the total weakening (death) of democracy.
