Republicans To Outsource Fundraising

To save money, many American companies have been outsourcing their call centers - thus those who make calls or receive calls (like customer service) are actually located abroad rather than in America. Now, in an apparently radical move, the Republic Party has decided to do exactly the same thing.

The Business Standard reports:

This is the first time such a project has been handed out to a company outside the US. The market research and public relations companies engaged by the party usually undertake such projects. HCL eServe has put in place a team of 75 people to work on the project out of its call centres in Noida and Gurgaon. According to industry sources, the number of seats could be ramped up depending on the success of the campaign. These operators are required to call up people in the US seeking their support for President George W Bush and a donation for the Republican cause. ... The Republican contract comes on the heels of a successful anti-abortion campaign run by HCL eServe for a US politician.

The Republican Party has always favored the creation of new jobs, even low-income jobs, but why would they act so deliberately to avoid new jobs here in America?
