Crazy world.  I have been working at FEC as the sole support for IT for
the past 2 years.  While I live in Kansas, and work at FEC it would be
unfortunate if I was to get laid off FEC would not be able to help me. 
So before you waste your time make sure you live in Missouri before
calling.  As I recall Shantae handles the H1B grant and mainly pushes
for large companies to use the grant to help train current staff
(although I could be entirely wrong here, just what I saw looking at
their database for the H1B usage.)  That said we do have many programs
that would be able to assist unemployed (or underemployed) people.

PS please don't send me any resumes.  Also, I know the current website
is terrible at http://www.feckc.org   (so until I can convince upper
management to use my design at http://www.feckc.org/new it's stuck.)
