Kessler,
McCabe, Tomblin, Mr. President, C. White, Fanning, Minard, Unger,
Caldwell, Prezioso, Rowe, Jenkins, Ross, Sharpe, Oliverio,
Dempsey, Hunter, Chafin and Love)
Urging President George W. Bush and the United States Congress stop
the outsourcing of American jobs.
Whereas, The Chairman of the President's Council of Economic
Advisors recently described the outsourcing of American jobs
overseas "as a good thing" and said, "Outsourcing is just a new way
of doing international trade."; and
Whereas, Two million nine hundred thousand private sector jobs
have been lost since January, 2001, including 2,800,000
manufacturing jobs; and
Whereas, The President's economic policies have either failed
to address or exacerbated the loss of manufacturing jobs that our
country has experienced over the last three years; and
Whereas, Job creation is essential to the economic stability
of the United States and the Administration should pursue policies
that serve as an engine for economic growth, higher wage jobs and
increased productivity; and
Whereas, American families are facing an economy with the
fewest jobs created since the Great Depression; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Legislature hereby urges President George W. Bush and
the United States Congress stop the outsourcing of American jobs;
and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Legislature hereby urges President
George W. Bush and the United States Congress oppose any efforts to
encourage the outsourcing of American jobs overseas; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Legislature hereby urges the United
States Congress adopt legislation providing for a manufacturing tax
incentive to encourage job creation in the United States and oppose
efforts to make it cheaper to send jobs overseas; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk of the Senate is hereby
directed to forward a copy of this resolution to President George
W. Bush, the United States Senate and the United States House of
Representatives.
