A couple of people who were corresponding on one of the Monster Board forums, garnered enough feedback/support, that they have decided to start a nationwide letter writing campaign to members of the US House and Senate on Sept 2 (Labor day). It is my understanding that the IEEE, and other various IT related organizations in the US are considering participation in this effort (see thread http://forums.technology.monster.com/viewmessage.asp?messageid=2347554 on MonsterBoard). The intent of the campaign is to let our respective representatives know that there is NOT a shortage of IT personnel in the US, contrary to what recent studies/reports and the lobby groups for the Fortune 100's would like our representatives to believe. A group has been formed on Yahoo for this purpose, and you can go to http://groups.yahoo.com/ and search for the group "htwprotest". If you do not have a Yahoo memberID, you will first need to sign up for one (it's free). You can then sign up to a participating member of this effort if you are interested.
