You slacker Americans have let your skills lapse. You are to blame for
your own unemployment and offshoring. It's not your employer trying to
save 75-80% of the labot cost. The President said so:
This morning, President Bush made a statement at a press conference
implying that the unemployment in the IT sector is the result of
American
workers who have not kept their skills up to date. It is important
that we
not allow that statement to go uncorrected. Please take two minutes
to
send an e-mail to President Bush telling him that unemployment is
not the
result of incompetent American workers, but rather poorly designed
government policies. You can use the IEEE Legislative Action Center
at
http://capwiz.com/ieeeusa/home/ to send the message quickly and to
get more
information on the Press Conference.
It is vital that these e-mails be send immediately if they are to
have any
effect. Also, we will need to generate a significant number of
e-mails if
they are to be noticed, so feel free to forward this e-mail to
anyone else
who may be interested.
Thank you for your help responding to this situation.

Please take a few minutes to explain to him the error in his ways as I
know you are not slackers.
