America's For-Profit Secret Army By Leslie Wayne, NY Times, October 13, 2002 – so America is becoming dependent on mercenaries for her defense, mercenaries whose first loyalty is to the corporation or company who pays them the most money that day. How many of America's military secrets are flowing to our potential enemies through these mercenaries?
Post-9/11 Economic Windfalls for Arms Manufacturers By Michelle Ciarrocca, Foreign Policy in Focus, September 2002 -- it has always seemed ghoulish for American companies to earn profits from war. In all of America's major wars, the windfall profits of military suppliers were taxed as a way of sharing the sacrifice with the men fighting for America's freedom. Why is Bush CUTTING taxes for the rich and powerful, including military suppliers, now?
Who Benefits from War?
Corporate Traitors -- why are corporate traitors allowed awarded US government contracts. If they are not willing to pay their taxes, why do we give them business paid for by the American taxpayer?

Sunshine for Women encourages you to support our feminist sisters by purchasing their books, reading them, disseminating the ideas they contain, but most especially, by making their book available to our sisters, our daughters, and the community at large by requesting your school library, your public library, and area bookstores to carry their books. Remember it is not enough to write literature, history, and theology, we must pass these works on to future generations. Help us to preserve these works for a new generation by putting them on library bookshelves.
