News Advisory:

Democratic leaders will join award-winning film director Robert Greenwald and Campaign for America's Future co-director Robert Borosage on Monday to call for oversight of the corrupt system of outsourcing critical military duties to war profiteers at the expense of soldier and civilian lives in Iraq.

The Campaign for America's Future will also release a new report on war profiteering and will host the capital premiere of Greenwald's new movie, "Iraq For Sale" on Monday. The report and the movie call on lawmakers to hold corporations accountable for rampant misconduct and incompetence while carrying out billion dollar contracts from the federal government.
