MoveOn targets four in Congress for aiding 'war profiteer' Halliburton
RAW STORY

Four U.S. Representatives are coming under fire this week from MoveOn.org Political Action Committee, RAW STORY has learned.
In what MoveOn says is the third and final ad in its "Red Handed" series, the group will accuse the Congresspersons of protecting war profiteers. Two earlier ads in the $1.3 million ad buy accused the Members of supporting what MoveOn calls a flawed prescription drug plan and allegedly protecting big oil companies while gas prices rise.
The ads, which will run through June 16th, target Reps Nancy Johnson (R-CT), Thelma Drake (R-VA), Chris Chocola (R-IN), and Deborah Pryce (R-OH).
They will cite the Representatives' votes to protect companies like Halliburton that overcharged the military for services in Iraq. They will also call for the Members to return all campaign contributions from defense contractors working in Iraq who may have influenced their votes.
