Here’s an interesting form letter that was brought to my attention. Seems like Blackwater is in damage control mode and sent the following to people on their mailing list:<\/p>\n
—-<\/p>\n
\nA Request for Your Support<\/p>\n
The Blackwater family is comprised of dedicated and active service
\nproviders that work vigorously to support the American nation. In this
\ntumultuous political climate, Blackwater Worldwide has taken center
\nstage, our services and ethics aggressively challenged with
\nmisinformation and fabrications. Letters, e-mails and calls to your
\nelected Congressional representatives can and will create a positive
\nimpact by influencing the manner in which they gather and present
\ninformation.<\/p>\n
While we can’t ask that each supporter do everything, Blackwater asks
\nthat everyone does something. Contact your lawmakers and tell them to
\nstand by the truth. Correspondence should be polite and professional.
\nWe don’t support generating negative messages. Tell the Blackwater
\nstory and encourage your representatives to seek the truth instead of
\nreading negative propaganda and drawing the wrong conclusions.<\/p>\n
Suggested themes:<\/p>\n
–<\/p>\n
Cost efficiency of Blackwater – saving the US taxpayer millions of
\ndollars so that the US Government doesn’t have to take troops from
\ntheir missions or send more into harms way
\n– Professional population of service veterans and mature law
\nenforcement personnel<\/p>\n
–
\n Sacrifice in lives lost by Blackwater saving US diplomats without one
\nsingle protectee harmed<\/p>\n
If you see a lawmaker speaking good things about Blackwater, contact
\ntheir offices and let them know that they have your support. Find and
\ncontact your federal, state, and local officials by visiting www.congress.org.<\/p>\n
Expanding our communications effort starts with you. Pass the word –
\npass the truth.<\/p>\n
