    I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN (77) AND ARE DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT OUR COUNTRY AND WHAT IS GOING ON AROUND ME.

    I WAS STUNNED TO HEAR THE NEWS ABOUT THE CONTRACT WITH FRANCE TO MAKE AN AERIAL BOMBER IN THEIR COUNTRY, AS SO MANY AMERICANS ARE IN NEED OF A JOB HERE. ALSO, EVERYTHING IS MADE IN CHINA OR ANOTHER FOREIGN COUNTRY THESE DAYS. WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE MADE IN AMERICA PRODUCTS? THEY ARE ALSO OUTSOURCING MANY OTHER JOBS, SUCH AS COMPUTER HELP. IT’S HARD ENOUGH TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS OVER THE PHONE, LET ALONE WITH SOMEONE TALKING WITH AN UNDISTINGUISHABLE FOREIGN ACCENT. I HOPE AND PRAY THAT CONGRESS LISTENS TO YOUR PETITION FOR THE GOOD OF OUR COUNTRY. WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP YOUR CAUSE?

    I am against giving the contract on the Refueling Tanker to France instead of giving it to Boeing.
    So many of our people could have had jobs working on it. France pulled out and left us with the war all by ourselves, when we needed them. Why pamper them, as they weren’t concerned about us.

    I oppose any more out sourceing of American jobs going to other countries.

    This is outregeous. We American’s are no longer represented by our government. Thank you for what you are trying to do. But I see the hand writing on the wall. Do away with American jobs, give all of our money to foreign nations. This will be the downfall of America. I worked for western electric, AT&T, retired from AT&T and then the manufacturing arm of AT&T became Lucent
    Tech., Inc. My 38 1/2 years of service with a defined pension started to erode when Alacte bought Lucent. I now have no Life insurance, that was significatn, no health insurance and I am sure that my pension will be taken away. French companies do not believe in continuing defined pensions as was believed by AT&T employess and Lucent employees to be honored as we were led to believe. Whatever you can do to keep this contract in the US will be to the benefit of America. However, I do not have any faith in our government. There are too few of you who want to listen to us or help us. Thank you again.

    It’s appaling that the USA is giving away american tax payers money and jobs to a foreign country to France of all places, who did not help us in Iraq. This is just disgusting what these elected officials let go on in washington.

  9. Thomas St.Pierre on March 13th, 2008 4:41 pm

    It is disgusting to think that our government will even consider a bid that originates from outside our country for millitary aircraft.
    There should be no reason what-so-ever why this can-not be done in the U.S.A.
    If ever there is a time for “Made in America” to mean something , now is that time….
