I just sent Senator Cornyn a message via his website. Gave him my cell phone number and told him I was available any time to discuss this in more depth. He won't call, but it's worth a try.
We should contact everyone of the ten senators who sent the letter in April. (http://www.durbin.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/durbin-and-sessions-lead-bipartisan-group-of-senators-in-calling-for-investigation-into-abuses-within-h-1b-visa-program)
Just wrote in too...we should start a petition and send it
I wrote in as well.
I just sent an email to the Texas senator under the Judicial topic section.
Writing to the senator is a great idea. Here is a link to send an email to the Texas Senator. We should all do it. I'm doing it right now.

We should write letters to our senators so they are aware of what's going on. Especially that people are made to train these workers.
About time! Too late for most if not all of IT, the employees will suffer the most. I'd like to see what happens when KOSTA needs assistance and it takes 3 to 5 days for a technician to arrive to his office. None of the Infosys team has much, if any knowledge of MAC products. Good luck! I still have to shadow these guys around once they come back from India or else, I don't get my severance payout!
I am very happy to hear this. I hope Fossil gets investigated also.
you beat me to this post. Here's another link:
