Sign the Pro-Rape Petition!
Monday, October 19, 2009 at 5:55PM A pro-rape reader is spreading the word and advancing the movement! Check out this pro-rape petition:
KBR contractors drugged and gang-raped a co-worker, Jamie Leigh Jones, in Iraq, anally and vaginally, suffering genital mutilation. She woke up bleeding from both orifices. After she was examined by a doctor, the evidence was handed back to KBR, where the rape-kit, photos, and notes disappeared. She was then locked in a shipping container, where eventually a guard gave her a cell phone to call for help. Agents were called at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, where they took Jamie out of KBR custody. The rape-kit was later recovered, but the photos and notes were gone, essentially letting the rapists go free.
No rapes were ever heard of at KBR because they use mandatory arbitration for rapes and assault, which include a non-disclosure agreements. Rapists are never brought to justice at this federal contractor because the corporation actively covers up rape, "protects their employees and the work environment," and makes evidence disappear to keep a good image.
30 Republicans voted against an anti-rape amendment for federal military & civilian contractors. Any government contractor who uses mandatory arbitration for rape and sexual assaults will not receive any more federal funding. In other words, any contractor who covers up rape and sexual assault by using a behind-the-doors non-disclosure agreement with the victim will not receive any more of your tax dollars.
Republicans enjoy military contractors(like KBR) that keep their rapes from being public knowledge. If a person was raped at KBR or another contractor, and accepted arbitration, the rape victim can then be sued for telling people she was raped at said company, therefore breaking the non-disclosure agreement that comes with arbitration. Arbitration protects rapists and the companies that employ them, and Republicans are simply looking out for the free market's best interests.
By signing this petition you agree to the following statement:
"I agree that the Republican Party is a pro-rape organization, and that pro-rape advocacy should be included in the party platform."
The list of republicans who voted pro-rape and pro-covering it up are as follows:
Lamar Alexander (R-TN)

Kit Bond (R-MO)
Sam Brownback (R-KS)

this is horrible1
There is no reason whatsoever that contractors and their employees, in the pay of the United States Government, should not be held to normal moral and legal standards. Rape is illegal in our country, as it should be under the employ of American contractors in foreign countries as well. Such savagery as befell Ms. Jones is, and should be by law, entirely unacceptable, and readily punishable in court. Government contractors should be constrained, as a condition of their government contracts, from demanding vicitims' silence, hiding evidence, and covering up misdeeds of this nature - even if they are KBR!
As a long time Republican supporter, I am in full favor of this. Finally our views and goals are in reach. I only hope others can see things in the way I do.
It is indeed a wonderful thing that Republicans have now exorcised the demonic stench that surrounds gang rape, yes.
I have already encouraged my fellow Skull and Bonesman George W. Bush to sign this petition, and I look forward to other upright, God-fearing, blue-blooded Republican men doing the very same.
I was never raped but I was molested. I thought it was great. Still have yet to be raped but I keep hoping. I'm glad the Republicans support rapists to the point of funding rape by KBR with my tax money. I think I may even check the little box box on my tax return this year donating money to the political campaign fund. I'm sure some of the money will trickle up to the GOP so I can be sure that Republicans can always support rape.
Wow. What a great country and sensitive political culture we live in! You've got to hand it to those conservatives for always looking out for the best interest of women.
Was it rape rape or just rape?
Well I'm sure glad Mackenzie never had one of these. Let's hope they don't catch on...
Person was KIDDING right? jeeze.

Gosh darn it. You republicans have all the fun. I can't even say "liberals for rape" without getting embarrassed.
Some of you know I was making a point and would never think rape was funny. I will research it for myself but was it only voted for by Rep?
Jon-The best NEWS PERSON in the world.What that the hell would we do w/o him!We love you in HUMBOLDT COUNTY,"The GREEN Capital of the world....
Hey, If priests can do it, why cant the KBR?
Many of the ARRA (Stimulus) Grants require contractor to sign an agreement that they will comply with the Davis Bacon Act (wages) and non-discrimination acts before a contract is awarded so these senators obviously don't read to many contracts.
McLean has 2 daughters!! yikes!
I know this happens because a former roommate had that issue and she could take no actiion.
See a pattern? www.armchairsubversive.org. I wonder if we can file RICO chages against the Republican Party?
So glad that my boy John Cornyn (R-TX) voted pro-rape. Of course, as a fellow Texan, I wouldn't expect anything less of him. I'll sure keep this in mind next election day!
I hope that their Mothers and daughter are never raped
You thirty PATRIOTS have served KBR and your corporate masters well.
@enb14,
Fellow Texan: You will note that Senator Kay Baily Hutchison is not on this list. I am appalled! The only thing I can figure is that she has sold out our Grand Old Party, in her upcoming bid for Governor of the Lone Star State of Texas, in order to appeal to that portion of Texas women who have been raped by incompetent cowboys. Please, not to suggest that any large proportion of cowboys are incompetent, but we have (will you not admit?) some proportion who have ridden so many bulls that they have a hard time distinguishing betweem women and goats. Thence being raped by one of these cowboys is not a pleasant experience, and may even cause some inexperienced young women to stop trying.
Praise be the Lord, we can take hope in the knowledge that when the chips are down, all right-thinking Republican Texas MEN will understand their duty to slap some sense into the recalcitrant heads of their wives and sweethearts. What's that, about four votes per Republican
man? We'll do OK, especially with our newly formed Republicans for Rape.
Let us not remember the 30 who stood for us!
Im going to go get 'republican' on my 'girlfriend'....
