Under a government that rewards offshoring, where will your job be in another 4-8 years?

offshore
My transcription supervisor says the company I work for offshores our transcription to Canada and India because they can't get enough transcriptionists from the United States???? Sounded like something they told her to say... a pat answer...
regarding offshore
I got this in my email this morning. There is a web address at the bottom. go to the address and click on the "contact congress" link. This is about notification when any medical work is going outside of the USA.
Forwarded to You from ............
Hello,
I am sending this link to you because I think there is a chance you would be someone who would be interested in supporting this bill. I personally have signed the petition and I sent letters to my local representatives, because I truly think it is important that we do all we can to keep Private Health and Financial Information within the borders of the United States and we at -------------are definitely doing that - we guarantee to all of our clients that our work is ALWAYS done by MTs in the US. You will obviously look at this and make your own decision about whether or not this is something you support, and I am not invested in whether or not you support it. But, if you do, please DO take the few moments it takes to sign this petition and send out the e-mails to your local representatives. I think it's a really cool thing that they have done that makes it this quick and simple to do this.
Thanks for your time and consideration.

Offshore concerns
To follow is a post on today's MTS Main board under off shore concerns/mg. Maybe some of you could help her out.
I mentioned this a few messages below, but the blog has its first post. I am NOT supporting any Ad things on there and will not be making anything off this.

If you have a link that would be useful to others to write their gov't reps, companies, news sources, etc, feel free to post them or e-mail me so i can get them up there. I am also looking for any news stories or any information we can get. One way or the other, we might be able to make a difference.
Offshore outsourcing and MT jobs
Senator Obama is going to stop giving tax breaks to companies who offshore. That includes Medical Transcription Companies who outsource their work to offshore companies. There will be an abundance of work for MTs here in the US, just like there used to be before our work started being sent overseas.
Medical Transcription used to be one of the top 10 careers but not anymore since it is outsourced overseas. That is why our pay is decreasing and it is harder to find a job. Senator McCain has been a senator for the last 30 years, yet our worked has continued to be sent overseas. What change has he brought about?
If you want to get the profession of Medical Transcription back to the way it used to be where we had excellent pay and an abundance of work, vote for the man who wants to stop outsourcing our work overseas. That man is Senator Obama. Do your research before you cast your vote which might in turn hurt your very own profession, Medical Transcription!
I am casting my vote for Senator Obama and looking forward to once again being proud to be an American and having the work back in America where it belongs.
Maybe they should tax offshore workers doing OUR work.
Perhaps sending packages
but your blanket statements about not supporting the troops is plain false and truly ignorant. You just don't get it; our beef is with Bush and Co. and his asinine policies. The troops are the ones being sent to be slaughtered for heaven's sake. You think we don't know that? Why doesn't Bush send his twin daughters, since it's such a noble cause?
As for the cigarettes and junk food, I have seen it with my own eyes! Of course it's insulting...it's insulting to our troops to send them for weapons that weren't there and because of the stupidity and arrogance of a man who won't listen to his top soldiers! Generals who warned him of all of this --- he basically told 'em to get lost. What about Colin Powell-- a 4-star general who had to make the case; how do you think he feels? My goodness, I don't know why I bother, 'cause you just dont' get it. We'll just have to leave it at that. It's all so senseless.
And they just keep right on sending him back to DC

Companies that offshore---Hillary versus Barack
I wanted to make you all aware during this election that Hillary Clinton is co-chair of the Friends of India Caucus---not good!
Barack Obama introduced the Patriot Employer Act of 2007 to provide a tax credit to companies that maintain or increase the number of full-time workers in America relative to those outside the US; maintain their corporate headquarters in America; pay decent wages; prepare workers for retirement; provide health insurance; and support employees who serve in the military.
PLEASE, everybody, see that Barack Obama is for keeping jobs in America and has shown this by passing this tax credit to encourage jobs in America. This is something he has already done, so we know he will help us fight this in the future. PLEASE DO NOT VOTE FOR HILLARY, who supports our jobs being outsourced.
I have stood behind Barack Obama and have sent emails questioning what he plans to do to help MTs in America. Just do the research and spread the word, PLEASE, not to vote for Hillary and to maintain support with Barack, who has shown he is BEHIND US!!
I believe that one of the ways we can ALL show support is to refuse to accept a position with a company that outsources offshore. I used to work for Spheris and did so for five years, but the company I work for now does not offshore and I will continue on in this direction. LET'S HELP OUR AMERICAN-BASED MT COMPANIES, AS SMALL AS THEY MAY BE, PROSPER!! Apply for a job with a company that does not offshore! We have to start somewhere!
I promise to never work for a company that offshores...will you? I promise to help keep Hillary Clinton out of the White House...will you?
Sending up prayers for all those of you who live...
in South Texas. That storm looks mean. I hope you and your families all get through it fine and safe. It would be nice to hear from you here after the storm passes just to know that you made it through ok.
then why is he sending people to represent him?
Seriously, I just heard a little blip on our news that he is sending 2 people to represent him- so why not go himself? they send he is sending someone else so as to distance himself from the turmoil but have some representation there who can't actually do anything. That's what was said.
I think he is sending America a message.......... sm
and it has to do with the fact that he pulled the wool over our eyes yet again and will continue to do so.
There was more press coverage on which dog would be the new White House pet than which church the new first family would be attending, although I do remember it being announced that he would attend an Episcopal church for Easter services.
I care what his faith is, Kendra, and you should as well. If he is, in fact, as is believed by many Muslim, then you'd better get prepared because we will be in a whole world of hurt.
No, he's sending the Muslim community a

I thought they were discussing sending them to Australia.
Did that change? I don't watch political channels, it just makes me mad.
McSocialist promises to SHARE THE WEALTH from offshore drilling revenues
At least he and SP seem to be on the same page today. SP: "...and Alaska - we're set up, unlike other states in the union, where it's collectively Alaskans own the resources. So we share in the wealth when the development of these resources occurs"....boasting to a reporter of having been able to send a check for $1,200 to every man, woman and child in the state since, quote "Alaska is sometimes described as America's socialist state, because of its collective ownership of resources.”
So true! Needy vs lazy. 2 different things! Sending

Getting a blow job is worse than sending Americans to be killed?
If choosing between a president who had his penis sucked in the oval office, and a president who threw unequipped National Guard troops under the bus to try to impress his daddy, I'll take the Prez with the healthy sexual appetite any day.
10 Reasons to Impeach G. W. Bush and Dick "Shoot 'em Up" Cheney (BTW it is too bad Cheney and Bush never went hunting together):

5. Violating U.S. law and the Constitution through widespread wiretapping of the phone calls and emails of Americans without a warrant.
6. Violating the Constitution by using "signing statements" to defy hundreds of laws passed by Congress.
