Dear Representative,

I am writing to you today as a very concerned citizen of the great United States, I am writing this letter to you because right now we have the opportunity to make real advancements on commonsense, fair-minded legislation, and I would like to take this opportunity to share some of the issues that are on my mind. Something needs to be done about all of these American companies that outsource American jobs to other countries. There are so many hard working Americans that are in need of a job. One of the biggest problems that affects our economy is all the outsourcing that American companies do. The main reason that companies outsource is so that they can make a bigger profit, but you can’t have the best of both worlds. If these American companies outsource to other countries to make their products, the American people who are not employed will not have any money, therefore they will not be able to purchase products. Did these American companies think about this when they started to outsource ? I am pretty sure they did, but it really doesn’t matter does it, they knew that the government would be there to bail them out. Welfare isn’t just for the poor people in this country. It is also used by all of these greedy corporations. We need to take our country back. We have to start somewhere. Jobs that are being outsourced are not just in manufacturing, companies are outsourcing customer service jobs, billing jobs, telemarketing jobs, legal work, computer programming, telecommunications, banking, engineering and hr jobs. HOW MANY LOST JOBS ? I can not really answer that question for you. Nobody really knows how many jobs have been outsourced overseas. The best estimates from the IT industry are that perhaps 300,000 to 400,000 jobs previously performed in the U.S. are now done overseas through contractors. The much-cited Forrester Research report of November 2002 projected that 3.3 million jobs would be outsourced from 2000 through 2015, or about 220,000 a year. More than half of those would be call-center type jobs, and only one out of six would be white-collar IT jobs. To many people file for unemployment insurance every week. Action has to be taken today. This is not a racist or ethnic issue, it is an AMERICANS NEED JOBS issue. American companies need to bring those jobs back here, or not get our money at all. Something has to be done about all of this outsourcing. I am writing to you because I expect you to do something about these issues. I expect you to do your job. This is what you get paid for isn’t it ? We should support President Obama's plan to not give these companies any tax breaks. The government should put restrictions on these companies that choose to do there business this way. We as Americans will do our part as well, we will start a boycott, We will not buy products that are not made in America. We want to see that “Made in America” sticker on everything. Why? Because that would mean that it was a product made by an American. Made by an American here in America. Made by an American who has a job. We will also not talk with customer service representatives from India. Why because they are taking our American jobs. I urge you as an elected official to stop American companies from outsourcing American jobs to other countries. Here is a list of companies that CNN has confirmed are "Exporting America." These are U.S. companies either sending American jobs overseas, or choosing to employ cheap overseas labor, instead of American workers. 3Com 3M A Aalfs Manufacturing Aavid Thermal Technologies ABC-NACO Accenture Access Electronics Accuride Corporation Accuride International Adaptec ADC Adobe Systems Advanced Energy Industries Aetna Affiliated Computer Services AFS Technologies A.G.
