Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, before President Trump and Steve Bannon bring in a Wall Street billionaire to delve into our Nation's most classified intelligence, the American people have a right to know the facts about who he and his firm are. If you believe in the United States military, as I do, and not simply cashing it out to private guns for hire, then we would best pay attention to Stephen Feinberg, CEO of Cerberus, who is to be tasked with leading a review of our U.S. intelligence agencies. Cerberus also owns DynCorp, which is in a legal dispute over a $10 billion State Department contract for operations in foreign countries. The Director of Homeland Security, retired General Kelly, received $166,000 as an adviser to DynCorp prior to his Cabinet appointment. Simply put, Cerberus profits off the privatization of war. Handing the keys to our intelligence agencies over to Wall Street is dangerous. Privatization of our homeland security and Armed Forces jeopardizes our national security. It is critical we stand together, take action to demand transparency, prevail for the sake of future generations, and prevent the siphoning of funds intended for our military. Before any Wall Street speculator sets foot on our Nation's most precious security turf, the American people and our military need complete disclosure and divestiture of all Cerberus' and Mr. Feinberg's holdings. ____________________”
