    Culmen International is a huge military contractor that “focuses on services related to domestic and international security, military readiness and support, and stability operations”

    Culmen International does not typically oversee the welfare of children, but they got a $29 million dollar contract to operate the migrant youth facility at the Dallas Convention Center.

    Kirsten Chilstrom, a Dallas-based special education teacher, started volunteering at the convention center shortly after the young people arrived as a part of a program managed by the Catholic Charities of Dallas. She describes Culmen’s treatment of the youths in carceral terms.

    “It’s disturbing… They are being treated like prisoners, and it’s insane,” Chilstrom told The Daily Beast.

    Sam Hodges, a Dallas-based MBA student who volunteers with the Catholic Charities, echoed Chilstrom’s assessment of Culmen International’s management of the facility. “They treat it like it’s a jail,” Hodges said.

    Culmen is also an arms dealer and they have been shown to have sold arms to terrorists around the world:

    “Military aircrafts of Azerbaijan transported 282 tons of cargo (PG-7VL and other grenades) on 10 diplomatic flights in April and May 2017 to the destination Baku-Rijeka (Croatia)-Baku. The consignor was the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan, and the consignee – Culmen International LLC, USA. This same company has been awarded two contracts ($47 million each) along with other contractors for non-US standard weapon supplies on 18 February 2016 and 19 April 2017 respectively. Culmen International LLC has also signed a $26.7 million contract for foreign weapons with the Department of Defense and a $3.9 million contract for newly manufactured non-US standard weapons”

We Support American Energy Independence

Oil, coal, natural gas, hydroelectricity and nuclear power - all produced in the United States, can provide all of our country's affordable, efficient, reliable and on-demand energy needs for centuries to come.

We Support Real Elections

"... one man, one vote, in person, on Election Day, in public, with ironclad voter identification. Absentee ballots should be limited to overseas military personnel only; if you’re out of town or even the country, that’s your choice. There should be no “ballot curing,” drop-off votes, early votes, or judge-mandated late votes."
~ Michael Walsh

"... with paper ballots, hand-counted in public with multiple observers and no voting machines."
~ Paul Crowe
