An interesting commentary...You might find this of interest:

'CNN Headline News did a short news listing regarding Ford and GM's
contributions to the relief and recovery efforts in New York and
Washington.

The findings are as follows.....

1. Ford- $10 million to American Red Cross matching employee contributions
of the same number plus 10 Excursions to NY Fire Dept. The company also
offered ER response ! team services and office space to displaced
government employees.

Condolences posted on the website
Whenever the time may be for you to purchase or lease 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



so it is not all union labor cost that makes us uncompetive

I almost hit a hunting dog a few days ago.

I learned something.

Do not beep your horn at them in the road, they will stop dead in their tracks and you will be swerving around them.

That's why buying American is important. And by American, I mean the Big 3.

People should know there is a difference.
