. . . my head hurts after reading these 2 articles--see the original source for the buzzflash story:

The Republican contract comes on the heels of a successful anti-abortion campaign run by HCL eServe for a US politician.

HCL eServe is building additional capacity in view of an expected growth in business. It is giving final touches to two new facilities — a 1,200-seat centre in Noida and a 700-seat centre in Chennai. . . .

(HCL eServe is "the business process outsourcing arm of HCL Technologies," an Indian IT empire)

buzzflash asks in their update (mentioning that RNC denies this story) "if the RNC or any Republican fundraising committee in the United States has retained, now or in the past, HCL to fundraise using telemarketers in India?" The anti-abortion campaign, if true, says yes.

btw, I just noticed the dates on these: February 2003--that might explain why the Indian corporation would invest in telemarketing facilities--the Do Not Call law hadn't even been proposed then, had it?
