Forrester Research says U-S companies will export more than 3 million service and technology jobs by 2015. H.M. Hervey is steaming mad about that. Hervey says he's pro-business, that he's not a protectionist, and that he's never been personally affected by so-called "offshoring." But the 56 year-old director of sales at a Silicon Valley software company believes the export of engineering, programming and tech support jobs to India and other countries could seriously hurt America.

So he's organized a group called SaveUSjobs.Biz to engage business leaders on the issue, and to cajole and embarrass them if necessary.

UPDATE: CNET News.com reports that Senator Chris Dodd has introduced a bill to fight offshore outsourcing:

"This week Sen. Christopher Dodd (D-Conn.) introduced legislation
seeking to ban offshore outsourcing in three areas of government
work: privatizing of federal work, federal purchase of goods and
services, and state government procurements using federal funds."
