Email and send a copy to your congressman, Senator and the President. The second is a model that family members and friends can send to their representatives. Go to these representative’s twitter accounts and keep making comments about Ricoh holding federal contracts ( https://www.ricoh-usa.com/en/industries/federal-government ) when is outsourcing American jobs and abusing H1B or L1 visas. Federal law allows the government to stop contract with companies that outsource American workers. We need to make our voice heard.

Re: Displacement of United States workers, outsourcing of United States’ jobs and abuse of H-1B Visas
Attention honorable (name),
I am a Ricoh Americas Corporation employee on the IT division, this month I have experienced, along of the rest of my dept. of over 30 people this year, (over 40 people last year and a year before), with the displacement of United States workers becoming a victim of jobs outsourcing. It is very important to me that you protect the United States’ citizens.
Please do not vote for, support or fail to vote against any bill that increases the number of H1B or L1 visas. Please move to lower the number of such visas and to force all employers to abide by the recruitment requirements set forth in the immigration laws for certain employers regardless of the education or advanced skill of the foreigner. This is of grave importance to the future of our country, and it is very significant to me and my vote.
(name of Congressman Senator or President), please also do all you can do to discourage or tax any American company that outsources its work to foreign countries. This is done simply to lower the company’s costs by denying jobs to American educated and American trained United States legal workers. This is repugnant and should be treated as much by the government.
Ricoh Americas hold contracts on federal, state and local government levels. As is advertised on their website “We (Ricoh Americas) have been working with federal offices, departments and military branches for decades, including civilian and DoD agencies.” Check the link: https://www.ricoh-usa.com/en/industries/federal-government . These contracts are being paid with US work taxpayer’s money. Ricoh Americas should be held accountable for this kind of business model. Workers overseas do not contribute to the US, American workers do.
Thank you for taking the time to read and consider my views on the above-referenced topic.
Sincerely,
