Let's Talk About Disgust.

Let’s talk about disgust. In fact, let’s talk about naked, blatant, disregard for human beings and sick, pandering to corporations.

In 2005, Jamie Leigh Jones was gang raped by her Haliburton/KBR co-workers. Then locked in a shipping container, and denied treatment, and outside contact until someone assigned to guard her took mercy and loaned her a cell phone. She was told that a clause in her contract prohibited her from filing charges against Haliburton/KBR.

Sen. Al Franken proposed an amendment to a recent defense bill that would deny government contracts to companies that have clauses in their contracts that bar employees from filing criminal charges in cases like Jamie’s.

Both Kansas Senators voted AGAINST this amendment. Sen. Sam Brownback and Sen. Pat Roberts.

Brownback and Roberts took the side of the rapists.
