Bush campaign outsources jobs to India?
Edited on Fri Aug-22-03 08:50 AM by sfecap
No sense creating jobs in the US, huh?

Bush’s party to raise funds via Noida, Gurgaon
Bipin Chandran in New Delhi

Business Standard, January 31, 2003

The US Republican Party now has a band of young and enthusiastic fund-raisers in Noida and Gurgaon.



HCL eServe, the business process outsourcing arm of the Shiv Nadar-promoted HCL Technologies, has bagged a project to undertake a fund-raising campaign for the US Republican Party over the telephone.



This is the first time such a project has been handed out to a company outside the US. The market research and public relations companies engaged by the party usually undertake such projects.



HCL eServe has put in place a team of 75 people to work on the project out of its call centres in Noida and Gurgaon. According to industry sources, the number of seats could be ramped up depending on the success of the campaign. These operators are required to call up people in the US seeking their support for President George W Bush and a donation for the Republican cause.

4. That's like Jews collecting to build a Nazi memorial
Unfortunately these people just want to work and will sleep with the devil to feed their families...

They probably don't know that BushCo would use their brown skins for seatcovers on the presidential limo if he ever got the chance....


...it puts the lotion in the basket or it doesn't get the $1.25 an hour....
