The thrust of this post is to identify the owners of the companies that make the firearms used to slaughter innocent American children and others. In other words, those to whom profit is more important than the safety of American children and others. The individuals whose political donations elect and re-elect representatives who have previously opposed gun control legislation.
Bushmaster Firearms, maker of the Bushmaster AR-15 .223 used at the Sandy hook School, is owned by Cerberus Capital Management, L.P., a hedge fund, run by it's co-founder Steve Feinberg.
In the Orwellian World of Steve Feinberg, Bushmaster Firearms is part of the Freedom Group. Remington Firearms was acquired by Cerberus Capital Management, L.P in June 2007. In December 2007 Remington Arms acquired Marlin Firearms. On November 26, 2011 The New York Times ran a story entitled "How the Freedom Group Became the Big Shot." I think Cerberus Capital Management, L.P's Freedom Group should be called "The Merchant of Death to the New World."
According to Forbes in 2008 Steve Feinberg 's net worth exceeded 1 billion USD.
According to Open Secrets in 2012 a Stephen Feinberg who listed his address as New York City Zip Code 10065 and occupation as Cerberus something donated $ 176,000. Every dollar was donated to Republicans and many to Senators and Reps who in the past have opposed gun control. How many millions were unreported? He gave to the Romney campaign but I don't know Mitt's position on gun control, today. I'm not sure Mitt does!
First, Steve Feinberg should purchase the site (selected by the school district) and build the Newtown School District a new school to replace the Sandy Hook School from his personal net worth.
Next, if he fails to promptly place funds meeting or exceeding the costs of acquiring the ground and building a school to replace the Sandy Hook School within 30 days. The investors in Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. should feel as much economic pain as possible. What can we do?
Let's exercise our freedom not to purchase and write our elected representatives.
Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. owns
Innkeepers USA Trust which operates hotels under the Marriott, Hyatt, Hilton, and other brands. If someone with knowledge of the hotel industry, will identify and post the specific hotels operated by Cerberous we can boycott these hotels.
DynCorp International is a private-owned military contractor. Can someone research the US government contracts held by DynCorp International and list the contracts. Then, we could start a campaign to remove DynCorp International from eligibility for US government contracts.
51% of GMAC Use your local bank. Any ideas?
Spyglass Entertainment: My research discloses that Spyglass has 5 movies in production. If a reader has knowledge of the movie industry, please list the movies currently showing in theaters or in production so they can be boycotted.
This is a start. I hope others will do a little research to locate other businesses owned/operated by Cerberus Capital so that consumers can boycott each and every Cerberus business. Post their names and then we can organize boycotts. If we can make Cerbeus feel real economic pain it will send a message to others and Congress that Americans will not support the Merchants of Death and their enablers in any elected legislative body.
I obtained much of the above information from wikipedia.org. Earlier this month I also donated to wikipedia.org and so should you.
