Mission and Objectives

Mission

Our mission is to discourage foreign outsourcing sufficiently to return all Americans to full employment on a permanent basis.

Objectives

Our primary objective is to enact one piece of legislation which will require all companies (foreign and domestic) operating in America to use one straightforward formula to determine the minimum number of people to employ here:

Company's manufacturing headcount in America    divided by    Company's manufacturing headcount world-wide

must be greater than or equal to

Company's American Sales*     divided by     Companies Global Sales      


*Sales to be counted in units
Simply put, if 40% of a companies global sales are in America, no less than 40% of its global workforce must also be American. More 
draconian formulas are being used by many of our major trading partners including China, Japan and Korea and it is time we required it as well.

 Secondary Objectives
 In order to provide the proper incentives for all companies to embrace this formula we will also pursue changes to: 

    1   Corporate tax law: Must be restructured to reward American companies that hire and maintain their headquarters domestically.

    2   Patent law: Behind every American invention lies a body of constitutional law and state supported public services (education, infrastructure,
            safety and others) that made it possible for the invention to be conceived, developed and marketed. U.S. patent law currently gives exclusivity to
            the inventor based upon the assumption that the inventor will reciprocate by hiring, paying employment taxes and undertaking other beneficial
            actions as part of the production process. This fundamental relationship has been destroyed by outsourcing.  Patent law needs to be restructured
            in order to return this relationship to equilibrium. The concept of exclusivity rights should be nullified for those organizations that insist on 
            outsourcing.  In these cases, production and marketing rights should be licensed to domestic competitors. Licensing proceeds should be allocated
            to supplement the nations depleted unemployment reserves.

    3     Trade Law: Quotas and tariffs impede free trade and should be avoided. Fines and penalties should instead be accessed against
         against organizations (foreign and domestic) not meeting our hiring goals. Proceeds would again be used to replenish the nations
         unemployment funds.

  
Strategies 

• Donations (both individual and corporate) will initially be allocated to distributing window stickers and building our internet based effort to increase awareness of StopOutsourcing.org's mission and objectives.
• Remaining surpluses (especially once production and postage costs decrease) will be used to develop programs to:
  • monitor legislative voting records
  • report on voting records of targeted officials during election seasons
  • develop and advocate for legislation designed to meet our above objectives
• Corporate partners willing to take leadership roles in crafting legislation will be pursued.
