BusinessWeek article on immigrant engineers and entrepreneurs

The silence from those of us not affected by the green card process who are legal immigrants is annoyingly deafening. The entire economy has picked up now and yet legislation takes forever to pass!

What does it take for lawmakers to turn their heads? People holding placcards and signs on streets protesting? Is that the only way to have something heard? Obviously, written articles such as these isn't helping!

Dear Vatsa,

I'll tell you what it takes.

It takes strength, both in membership and money. And the former helps bring the latter.

Please help introduce a member to IV by Jan 15th. Help create our own voice (to break the annoying silence that you talk about).

Encourage others to participate in the Add ONE Member campaign started by IV.

Thank you.

Absolutely right. Join the Add a member campaign. We already achieved a minor goal of becoming 8000 strong way before the goal-date of Jan15th. But we really need to be 10,000+ strong.
