Faux News columnist attacks outsourced US workers blog
Cato Institute and Fox News Columnist Use Web to Attack Grassroots Organization

MESA, AZ,(PRWEB) May 11, 2004 --
A self-proclaimed "liberal libertarian" who works as a policy analyst for the Cato Institute, one of the nation's most powerful corporate lobbyist forces, called the authors of the American Joblog (www.AmericanJoblog.com) "Buchananite protectionists" and stated unequivocally, "This is what we're up against, folks."

Rob Sanchez, author of the Job Destruction Newsletter from ZaZona.com, and one of the authors on the American Joblog, stated, "It’s funny that he called us ‘Buchananite protectionists’. I take that as a compliment. But," he continued, "We also have Naderite protectionists and everything in between, and most stand somewhere in the middle."

The American Joblog (www.AmericanJoblog.com) is a new web community from Rescue American Jobs (www.RescueAmericanJobs.org), and the blogs are authored primarily by outsourced American workers who have turned to activism within a myriad of organizations to bring awareness to the current jobs crisis in America.

Cato’s analyst, Balko, threw the gauntlet down after an author on the American Joblog criticized an article written by Balko on Fox News.
