Mercenaries Should Not Be Above the Law

Just yesterday the House overwhelming passed a bill that would make it clear that U.S. law applies to all armed contractors hired for overseas missions. Now it's up to the Senate to follow the House's lead. Tell your Senators to support accountability for private security contractors in Iraq and send the letter below. http://act.truemajorityaction.org/t/50/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=1194
