For most, there are two issues here:

1) Homeland replacement.  Your situation.
2) Overseas outsourcing.

Your "cause" is with #1?  I'm more concerned about #2.

I remember a time when the company was supposed to prove they could not fill
the position with local candidates and therefore *needed* to bring someone
in.  Back then, it was easy to get around this.

I agree, that's a pretty big slap in the face.

Most people are unaware of the myriad of issues that are being discussed and
decided upon by our politicians.  It's so daunting, just finding the energy
to try and figure things out stops you in your tracks.  The vocal minority
usually speak for the silent majority.

I think Gov't has gotten too big - no checks and balances.  How do the
*people* manage this behemoth?

I'm glad.  I know several people who were unemployed for quite a while.
