3. Change.gov is a start
Change.gov is Obama/Biden website until he takes office Jan 20. Voice your concern over the outsourcing of our jobs overseas and the failing/failed Worker Visa Programs, corporations have found loopholes in these programs and bring in cheaper workers from all over the world.

I agree with the insurance. I had an accident on Thursday that I should have gone to the Doc or the hospital for, but instead purchased antibiotic cream, Advil & butterfly stitches, friends stayed by my side for 12 hours, as it was a head injury.... I have no health insurance, jobless, hardly making ends meet, no way could I go to the hospital or a Doc's office. There is something wrong with this picture.

Obama has said this isn't going to be easy, we are in a big mess, People are going to have role up their sleeves and help him and alerting him to these issues. Geez it is like all of us that are products of the 60's... we need, we MUST reorganize and start marching and protesting again over these issues so no other woman, man, child must be homeless because of the past 8 years. Geez, I have no kids,, but I do not want to pass over this country to our youth in the current condition it is in.

Perhaps we need to start a group here for research of companies that all their workers and mfging are in the USA. I was shocked when I called on an Amana appliance I have, under warranty and it was messing up... figured I would get someone from out of the country,but SHOCK they were in Tenn, all of their call centers arein the United States, also Whirlpool. So there is at least one company. I asked to speak with Management and thanked them that they have not outsourced.

This woman was successful, hard working and lost her job to outsourcing, my heart goes out to her, we need to fight for her, and others that are victims to loss of job, outsourcing and worker visa programs..

We need to remember something... we can not assume that someone else is taking care of it, as when we ass-u-me nothing happens. Call/write/email Obama/ our Reps... nonstop.

Sorry to preach
Azlady
