Stu lived in Piscataway, New Jersey and had a B.S. Computer Science 1981 from East Stroudsburg State College. Yesterday I received the... following news from his wife:
"My husband succumb to a disease called severe depressive disorder. His body was found the morning of October 14, 2009. He took his life. His disease started shortly after his job was once again taken by a H-1B. He was in the computer industry for 25 yrs. Not only did the H-1B program take his life but it has taken the lives of his family."

Members of Hire Americans First allege that H-1b, L-1, and PERM constitute undue government interference in the right to practice in their professions, and call on Congress to remedy this harm.
