ACTION PAGE: charleswsanders.org 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). ACTION PAGE: charleswsanders.org This alert is brought to you through the activism of Charles W. Sanders, running for Congress from the 3rd district of OH, where there will be a special primary election this FRIDAY, September 15. Please consider making a contribution to his campaign if you have not done so already, so he can get his courageous call to action TV commercial as much exposure as possible. VIDEO PAGE: charleswsanders.org When we find a representative brave enough to take strong stands we like on the critical issues of our time, shall we do everything we can to support him or not? Our only real chance to influence what our choices will be in the general election is by backing the best candidate in the primary process. Please encourage Charles to continue to stand up and fight for us any way you can.
