1. It's just plain

wrong to use our tax dollars to pay people in another country wages and those people in turn don't pay taxes into our system. Let your state government know you don't tolerate that.

3. go to the link and email him

I'm sure he'll respond w/ that info....he's very diligent and
as a business owner, I'm sure you and making others aware
of this (because not only do you pay taxes, but it hurts badly
small business in terms of competing).
