Bush Admin.'s Latest Contract Give-away in Iraq Goes To...
The Lincoln Group, a Public Relations Firm. Connect the dots and their reason for rewarding the Lincoln Group with this contract is quite clear.

After reading the announcement in LBN a friend sent me this in an e-mail:


Just saw this in LBN:

So I looked up the company knowing this is all about crony capitalism:

Notice the partner, WVC3? I recognized that name. That company is none other than the famous Carlton Sherwood...who put out the John Kerry hit movie, Stolen Honor:

AS late as last July, they were no longer going to place these ads, however, notice they were awarded another contract. Look at the millions of bucks going to them...then scroll down:

At least 3 people associated ran the Bush campaign in Illinois:

The real purpose of once again rewarding this contract is to funnel funds to the November elections.

5. thanks.
we need to get the word out about this. the Admin can be counted on to reward their friends and rob the American people. we'll essentially be contributing to their campaign elections and the media attacks against the Democratic candidates.

9. There's a whole underground system the GOPs gave built to fund campaigns
that Democratic strategists haven't keyed on.

No wonder they fight public financing of campaigns so hard.

8. Good find!
It's amazing how, with anything this mis-administration does, if you connect the dots it leads you right to another member of the GOP crime family.

This amounts to outright stealing from the U.S. taxpayer and the bankrupting of the country...the biggest theft in the history of the world.

Forward to Conyers so he can add this to his already voluminous evidence against this organized crime outfit known as the GOP.
