Something to think about....
WORTH SENDING AROUND, SINCE THEY ARE IN TROUBLE NOW.
GM, Ford, & Chrysler
INTERESTING...maybe the country should consider bailing them out
to some degree
Nothing needs to be said... Ford, Chrysler and GM's contributions
after 9/11
An interesting commentary...You might find this of interest:

contributions to the relief and recovery efforts in New York and
Washington.

Whenever the time may be for you to purchase a new vehicle, keep this
information in mind. You might want to give more consideration to a car
manufactured by an American-owned and / or American based company. Apart
from Hyundai and Volkswagen, the foreign car companies contributed nothing
at all to the citizens of the United States ... It's OK for these companies to take
money out of this country, but it is apparently not acceptable to return some in
a time of crisis. I believe we should not forget things like this. Say thank you in
a way that gets their attention..
++++ Pass it on, I just did. ++++
