Open letter to Doyle regarding H-1B visas

Dear Jim Doyle, I want to let you know I am against any increase in H-1B visas. The fact that you, as my governor, signed on to a letter to increase H-1B visas is a slap in the face to all IT workers seeking jobs.

This myth has long ago been debunked by a Duke University study at http://www.issues.org/23.3/wadhwa.html I hope you will listen to voters who have to live with the consequences of jobs being given to H-1B visa workers rather than the corporations who want to give our jobs away. Sincerely, Joe Klein

Many VoIP carriers provide flat rate lines with unlimited calling in the US and Canada. Significant savings can be incurred using VoIP based PBXs especially if implemented using Open Source based systems such as Asterix. If Federal, State, County, Cites and Villages interconnect over their own fiber networks, the cost of inter agency calling can be reduced to nearly zero. We need to get our heads out of the sand and stop government reliance on on gold plated IT solutions. A mentality that worships big consultants and big business solutions seems to reign supreme in Wisconsin...
