**Fight OUT Sourcing** Easy technique
Every time you get an overseas telemarketing call from a credit card or other company you deal with, call the company or email them telling them you object to them outsourcing American jobs.

Every time you call customer service and get an overseas service representative, call the company main number or email them and tell them you object to OUT Sourcing American jobs and that you will buy elsewhere if they don't stop it.

This is easy to do and connected to a real event. If you wonder where the call is being handled, just ask them and they'll tell you. Mine a few minutes ago was India. Nice country, great e-voting system (all parties like it), but there are Americans out of work.

Screw 'em by giving American corporations immediate feedback.

2. Best Buy: 800 number on their bill connects to a phonebank in India
I had a billing question, dialed the 800 number listed on the Best Buy statement and spoke to a woman working in India (asked where she was, didn't just assume from her accent).

I took your advice and called Best Buy Corporate to explain my complaint to the rep: Outsourcing hurts American workers, harms our economy and BB contributes to this damage by dealing in outsourcing.

The customer rep (he was in MN) immediately said, "You must understand: Best Buy has NO connection to what that bank handling the billing is doing. It is the bank dealing in outsourcing, not Best Buy."

I said BB is directly connected, by the 800 number on the bill, and is actively supporting outsourcing and damage to Americans by doing business with a bank that is outsourcing.

BB expects the American workforce to cough up millions of dollars to buy BB products and yet sponsors ongoing economic harm to these same Americans by working with an outsourcing bank. It's the economy stupid!
