Tech Group Grants "Weasel Award" to Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY)
The IT Professionals Association of America (ITPAA) has awarded its first Weasel Award of 2005 to Senator Hillary Clinton for her recent remarks supporting outsourcing.

(PRWEB) March 4, 2005 -- The Information Technology Professionals Association of America (ITPAA), an advocacy group based in Wilmington, Delaware representing professionals in the high-tech field has handed out its first Weasel Award of 2005 to Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D - NY). The organization, representing over 1,200 IT professionals nationwide, presents this award to business and political leaders that it believes betrays the trust of the American people.

Scott Kirwin, founder of the organization, states, ?We are tired of Democrats pretending they care about the problems facing average Americans. Senator Clinton?s actions prove they clearly do not.?

The ITPAA based its award on Indian press reports of Sen. Clinton supporting outsourcing and assuring political and business leaders in India that the US would not attempt to save the jobs lost. ?Outsourcing will continue,? Clinton said in Delhi on Feb 28, according to a report by the Asia Times. ?There is no way to legislate against reality. We are not in favor of putting up fences."

?Her statements got little press here but were splashed all over the Indian media,? Kirwin says. ?Does she think we aren?t going to find out about it?? Kirwin says that the India media is the best source of information about outsourcing and what he terms ?labor dumping? ? using immigration policies to dampen wages.

Amazing how we never hear about this kind of thing, unless you go digging around on the net.

Is outsourcing something Republicans complain about if IT involves workers other than IT folks? WAZZZUP?
