Resign! Senators McCain and Kyl
For failure to represent Arizonians, failure to enforce the 7th Amendment of the Bill of Rights, support rapists and their cover-up, embarrassing Arizonians, no support of women issues.
October 6, 2009, the Senate was debating the Defense Appropriations 2010, bill H.R. 3326. Sen. Al Fraken of MN offered Amendment 2588 – Binding Arbitration, the government should not give defense contracts to companies if those companies prevent their employees who have been raped or discriminated against from suing in court. 30 male republican senators voted against the Amendment including McCain and Kyl.
The Amendment, vote number 308, emerged in large part of the horrific plight of Jamie Leigh Jones. Mrs. Jones was then a 19-year-old woman patriot employee of Kellogg, Brown and Root, KBR, sub-contractor to huge defense contractor Halliburton. Mrs. Jones was housed in the green zone of Iraq with some 400 male employees where she complained twice of sexual harassment with no action. One evening Mrs. Jones was approached by her fellow male workers who gave her a drink, after two sips she was unconscious, drugged. Upon waking, Mrs. Jones discovered one of her rapists who was glad to admit his misconduct. On a trip to the bathroom Mrs. Jones discovered her gang rape. She reported the rape, taken to a doctor confirming the gang-rape. The doctor medical documented proof has disappeared. KBR then locked Mrs. Jones in a storage locker under guard armed with machine guns with no food or water for 24 hours. The contract with KBR is binding arbitration, silence with the result of objection means termination of employment. To this day Mrs. Jones has been denied her day in court and no action against her rapists. THIS IS WHAT YOU SUPPORT WITH YOUR NO VOTE SENATORS JOHN McCAIN AND JON KYL. Arizonians want no part of what you supported!
