Stop Tax Breaks for Outsourcing
Congress and President Bush are considering $40 billion in new tax breaks and new trade deals that would encourage companies to export U.S. jobs, while 10 million jobless people are looking for work in America. We can stop this and change America if thousands of people speak out about this outrage. Please take one minute right now to send a letter to Congress and President Bush. Feel free to personalize the letter below with your own words.

Subject: Oppose Tax Breaks for Outsourcing
Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,
I am concerned about the massive loss of jobs overseas. Hundreds and thousands of people in my community have been hit hard by the loss of jobs. This job loss is devastating to our community. It hurts families, the small businesses they patronize and the schools and public services that depend on our tax dollars.
I am opposed to new tax breaks, trade deals and other policies that encourage companies to export U.S. jobs. I think it is shameful that Congress and President Bush are considering $40 billion in new tax breaks to encourage companies to export U.S. jobs.
Elected leaders must act immediately and aggressively to stop the loss of U.S. jobs and seek policies to create new good jobs. America needs good jobs.
Sincerely,
|

Millions of U.S. jobs are being exported by big corporations trying to fatten profits by shipping work abroad. Worse, Congress and President George W. Bush are considering $40 billion in new tax breaks and new trade deals that would encourage companies to export U.S. jobs, while 10 million jobless people are looking for work in America. We can stop this and change America if thousands of people speak out about this outrage.
KANSAS WORKBEAT is launching a special online letter-writing drive to Congress and President Bush urging them to block any measure that would export U.S. jobs. Please take one minute right now to send your letter.
After you act, please spread the alarm about these acts by our elected leaders to your friends, family and co-workers and ask them to sign the petition.
America already has lost factory jobs by the millions. Now, job loss is under way in office jobs. IBM, AT&T, Xerox, Verizon, Microsoft, General Electric, Delta Air Lines, Bank of America and more are all exporting jobs, according to CNN's Lou Dobbs. Please act today. We can make a difference when we speak out.
We'll keep you up to date on this and other important issues.
