My name is Sonny Mosley and its probaby too late for me in my situation. I worked for an Outsourcer company for 4.5 years and moved up through the ranks. Hard work and common sense, you know? I transfered to different Call centers for them. My last transfer was to none other than Nogales Arizona, right on the border. Yeah no I dont speak Spanish, even though 95% of the Call center did.
I have 2 Blonde teenage daughters that I also fear for. Well, after having a Heart attack last Oct, while on assignment for this Company, the Company then lays me off on January 6th of this year. There are no jobs for a "gringo" down here. I have no support system and no way to leave the area now. I am on unemployment and Arizona pays the least in the nation at just $240.00 per week.

I know soon my family and I will be homeless. But I have to tell you what bothers me most. Everyone is asking why some Homeowners are having to foot the bill for other Homeowners, because of that particular part of the financial crisis. But I ask this?!?
What about us that dont own a home. Because of my transfers for my Company, I havent been able to buy a home. Yet those of us will still have to pay for this insane economic stimulus package and more.

I am an American, lost in America. If I could only get out of Nogales and back to a city where they speak English in America, I can make another go of life. But at age 50 with a heart condition, the current Government is forgetting about guys like us. And do you think I am the only one that is in trouble?
