DID YOUR LEGISLATOR VOTE TO KILL U.S. JOB MARKET?

Wide reports indicate that Washington politicians are purposefully bleeding away America's wealth, economic vitality, and high-paying or national security-oriented industrial jobs--forcing constituents to absorb costs of corporate financial and tax incentives which subsidize the loss of these jobs.  White House officials now refer to shipping American jobs overseas as a "new type of international trade," thus creating a federal "job deficit" to stand adjacent to its burgeoning trade and spending deficits.  But questions remain whether families will decide to "outsource" legislators voting to reward corporations with cheap labor in exchange for campaign election contributions.  See the links below to learn which congressional culprits are selling out America, either by sending jobs abroad or importing foreign workers to take them.

PHILADELPHIA -- February 29, 2004 -- (TomFlocco.com) -- Do you know if your congressman or senator voted to sell out U.S. jobs to foreign workers?  Do you know if your legislators accepted corporate compaign contributions OpenSecrets.org in exchange for laws which permit the importation of foreign workers with congressionally sponsored H-1b and L-1 visas to relocate to the United States to take the jobs of American citizens?  Do you know which senators and house members voted to permit corporations to force Americans to train their foreign, imported replacements--or lose their severance pay after they are fired?  Did you know that newly-trained foreigners (living and working in the same neighborhoods of now-unemployed American citizens) do not pay taxes if they are receiving their compensation in the form of "expenses?"......

Did your elected senator or house member vote to support open U.S. borders, chain migration, increased illegal amnesty, illegal baby citizenship, refugee fraud, and worker importation, all of which significantly raises your local, state and federal taxes and public debt--while providing cheap labor for corporations?  View the voting records of every senate and house member regarding these critical issues which affect all American jobs, taxes, trade, and spending deficits:  BetterImmigration.com offers a voting record in the form of a "report card."

Did your senate or house member vote for the H-1b Visa "American Worker Replacement Program?"  Did your legislator vote for L-1 Visas to replace well-educated Americans (high-tech, radiology, film industry computer graphics, office personnel, etc.) with imported foreigners brought into the United States expressly for the purpose of assuming jobs which render Americans unable to support their families?  Did your senators and house member cash campaign election bribes from corporations seeking cheap foreign labor at the expense of U.S. jobs?  Are you concerned about the effect this will have upon the future job prospects of your children or grandchildren?

Did your legislator vote for "free-trade" programs to support super-rich corporate executives http://www.firstgov.gov/Agencies/Federal/Legislative.shtml (see roll-call votes)--which puts United States citizens out of work, lowers their wages, or moves their manufacturing, high-tech or skilled jobs to Mexico, China, the Far East, or South America--or "outsources" their jobs to workers in such countries as India, Chile, Argentina, Japan, etc.?  View the Lou Dobbs CNN list of companies "exporting America."  www.cnn.com/lou  [ Lou Dobbs Tonight, seen Monday through Friday on CNN at 6 pm and 11 pm Eastern, has become the foremost media outlet for exposing legislative and corporate job fraud in America.]

Did your legislator vote to permit corporations to avoid paying their fair share of local, state and federal taxes by allowing corporate executives to "relocate" their "home" offices to Bermuda and the Cayman Islands, etc.? 

Is your house or senate member selling out critical jobs in manufacturing and defense infrastructure industries which places the national security of the United States at risk when these key military and industrial components are manufactured outside the country by foreign workers?  Do you know if your legislator even cares about your family's safety and job security if he is willing to vote to betray American military and defense employment interests?  Are you willing to find out?  Will you vote your legislator out of office in November if he betrayed your family's job interests?

Did your congressman or senator aid and abet the above "programs" by refusing to mandate the collection of local, state and federal taxes from millions of illegal aliens, H-1b / L-1 visa holders, and other imported workers who provide cheap labor to corporations?  Will you continue to vote for legislators who allow corporations to use what some term as "body shops" from countries like India to cut costs because they don't pay their employees U.S. wages, but instead pay foreign workers "expenses" for working in the USA? 

Will you re-elect a legislator who permits these foreign worker "expenses" to be un-taxed?  Do you understand how this legislative fraud affects the taxes collected from your paycheck?  Will you vote to re-elect your senator or congressman if he refuses to stop U.S. citizens from having to absorb the un-collected taxes from foreign workers and illegals while U.S. corporations employ cheap foreign labor--possibly causing you to lose your job?  Are you aware that senators and congressmen collect election campaign contributions from these same corporations --a form of corporate bribery--to produce slick TV ads to convince you to let them retain their power and continue to sell out the jobs of all Americans?

Did your house or senate member vote (Legislation & Voting Records: FairUS.org) to establish "programs" to benefit millions of illegal aliens at your expense--which causes billions of dollars to be drained from local, state, and federal tax coffers for hospital, ambulance, education (new schools, teachers, bilingual classes, books, free college tuition, free breakfasts, and free lunches), housing, food stamps, and police-fire protection services for foreigners who broke American laws and entered the United States illegally?

Will you vote to re-elect your legislator if he/she refuses to hold President Bush accountable for failing to uphold his oath of office and the United States Constitution because he refuses to enforce American immigration laws already enacted by Congress?

Will you vote to re-elect your senator or house member if he/she votes to support President Bush's "back-door amnesty" program for millions of illegal aliens already living in the United States?

Will you allow the President, your two senators, and your congressman to sell out your job, provide expensive benefits for illegals, and increase your taxes and the public debt so that your elected representatives are able to trade "cheap labor" to corporations in exchange for campaign election contributions which allow them to retain their legislative power over you and your family members?

Is your senator or congressman a traitor to all hard-working American citizens?  Will you take the time to find out?  Will you help your friends in other states remove their senator or congressman from office if he/she voted to sell out American jobs?  The 2004 FALL ELECTIONS are fast approaching.  Click on the above congressional voting record links to find out where your senators and congressmen stand regarding shipping American jobs abroad and illegal immigration--BEFORE you go to the polls in November.

Will you vote to re-elect your legislators if you find out that they are placing the interests of foreign workers ahead of U.S. workers, while forcing you to pay increased taxes caused by costly "services" to cheap-labor illegals and un-collected taxes from foreign workers with H-1b and L-1 visas?

WILL YOU VOTE TO HOLD YOUR LEGISLATORS ACCOUNTABLE FOR YOUR EMPLOYMENT FUTURE AND THAT OF YOUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN?
