Republicans in Congress have made it clear they're willing to fight for military contractors' right to lie, cheat and defraud taxpayers.
Clearly the Republican agenda is to protect corporate interests over the interests of hard working Americans. And, to try and prevent some Americans from exercising their right to vote! It's well past time to give many of these Republicans their 'pink slip'.
