Friends, we have lost 450,000 American jobs since 2000, victim to corporate outsourcing. Do you realize that current corporate law continues to provide tax payer monetary support for relocation of even the most unscrupulous businesses, regardless of their mission? That's right, our tax laws actually promote the exportation of our good jobs by allowing greedy corporations to defer taxation on "foreign" income, shortchanging our treasury at the same time.
As a member of the most prestigious AFL-CIO for over thirty years, I fought with vigor and measured success the concept of outsourcing, which involved bringing in outside American contractors who would in turn take meaningful work from the bargaining unit of which they were not a part, entirely out of the purview of the skilled labor pool who were well positioned to accomplish the proposed new work change or feature. As you know, today the scope of outsourcing has changed to such an extent that it has taken on a life of its own. The prospect of control has been ceded to foreign nations to the peril of our long standing pride of originality that we all share and have come to expect.
But I am not just waiting to be a member of Congress to expose America's harvest shame. We must work together starting now to craft new domestic and international policy which reverses this most deplorable hemorrhaging of American jobs going overseas, to cease and desist this practice immediately. Now is the time to put a tourniquet on this gushing flow of prosperity out of America, which is threatening our very standard of living. Please submit this action page and begin the process of regaining control of our Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

Our current Congressman has forgotten about
the working people of this district. With your help,
Sanders can and will win this election -- and then
the people of the Third District will have a Congressman
who really understands their needs and concerns.
Thanks again for your interest in the campaign and
don't forget :
