Blackwater Urges Supporters to Fight Congressional ‘Misinformation and Fabrications’Blackwater is continuing its aggressive public-relations push. And it needs your help.
Earlier today, the company sent out an e-mail to supporters urging them to contact their Congressional representatives (who are otherwise misinformed by “negative propaganda”) and get the word out about Blackwater’s value to U.S. national security. The email is posted in full below.

The Blackwater family is comprised of dedicated and active service providers that work vigorously to support the American nation. In this tumultuous political climate, Blackwater Worldwide has taken center stage, our services and ethics aggressively challenged with misinformation and fabrications. Letters, e-mails and calls to your elected Congressional representatives can and will create a positive impact by influencing the manner in which they gather and present information.
While we can’Ât ask that each supporter do everything, Blackwater asks that everyone does something. Contact your lawmakers and tell them to stand by the truth. Correspondence should be polite and professional. We don’Ât support generating negative messages. Tell the Blackwater story and encourage your representatives to seek the truth instead of reading negative propaganda and drawing the wrong conclusions.
Suggested themes:
– Cost efficiency of Blackwater – saving the US taxpayer millions of dollars so that the US Government doesn’Ât have to take troops from their missions or send more into harms [sic] way
– Professional population of service veterans and mature law enforcement personnel
– Sacrifice in lives lost by Blackwater saving US diplomats without one single protectee harmed
If you see a lawmaker speaking good things about Blackwater, contact their offices and let them know that they have your support. Find and contact your federal, state, and local officials by visiting www.congress.org.
Expanding our communications effort starts with you. Pass the word. Pass the truth.
