2005: Anti-Offshoring Advocacy Group Gave Sen. Clinton A Weasel Award, Citing Pro-Outsourcing
Comments Clinton Made In India. The Press Trust of India wrote, An American anti-offshoring advocacy
group has awarded its first Weasel Award of 2005 to Democrat Senator Hillary Clinton for her recent remarks
supporting outsourcing. The Delaware-based IT Professionals Association of America (ITPAA) representing
over 1,200 IT professionals nationwide, said on its Web site that it presented this award to business and political
leaders that it believes betray the trust of the American people. Scott Kirwin, founder of the organization
claimed that people were tired of Democrats pretending they care about the problems facing average
Americans. Senator Clintons actions prove they clearly do not. The ITPAA based its award on press reports of
Hilary Clinton supporting outsourcing and assuring political and business leaders in India that the US would not
attempt to save the jobs lost. Outsourcing will continue. There is no way to legislate against reality. We are not
in favor of putting up fences. Hillary had said on Feb 28 in India, according to a report by the Asia Times.
Kirwin also cited her position as co-chair of the Friends of India Caucus in the Senate, a group of senators that
supports issues important to India, including outsourcing and H-1B and L-1 visas, as another reason behind the
ITPAA's decision to give the award to the prospective Democrat presidential nominee. [Press Trust Of India,
