Lieberman has landed financial backing from tech bigwigs
Lieberman has sided with the industry on many issues, including lifting the cap on H1-B visas

Rep. Zoe Lofgren
The bill also addresses the current backlog in H1B applications. It would also permit current H1B visa holders to stay in the U.S. while their green card applications are being processed.

Rep. David Dreier
"By increasing the H1-B visa cap and investing more in U.S. education and training,important jobs in the technology industry will be filled by qualified people, thus creating even more job growth," said Rep. Dreier.

Rep. Richard Gephardt
Introduction of the HI-TECH Act.
"I am pleased to offer my support for this bill. It is the start of our efforts to address the short term need to fill the job vacancies in the technology industry as well as long-term importance of increasing crucial funding for the education and training initiatives that will provide long-term solutions to help fill these vacancies."

Rep. Dana Rohrabacher:
"... I would like to have 200,000 Americans have those jobs. H-1B Visas is nothing more than a reneging on the promise to the American worker that, when supply and demand means that their wages will go up, that we will, instead, import people from overseas to keep their wages down."
