Ford Sales Drop 11.6%. Homosexual Groups More Important Than Support For Employees, Dealers.

 

Homosexuals give Ford no public support despite falling sales due to AFA boycott

 

Dear ,

 

The boycott of Ford Motor Company continues to be effective. Sales in August dropped 11.6%. This follows drops of 5% in March, 7% in April, 2% in May, 6.8% in June and 4.1% in July.

 

Ford is taking several actions to halt falling sales, but none of them include ending financial support for homosexual groups promoting same-sex marriage. Ford lost $1.4 billion in the first half of the year.

 

Rather than save money by cutting financial support to homosexual groups, Ford plans to cut production by 21%, trim the number of dealers, reportedly is seeking a merger or alliance with another auto maker, studying taking the company private, and considering selling their Jaguar, Volvo and Land Rover units.

 

Chrm. Bill Ford puts the support for homosexual groups ahead of Ford's support for employees and dealers. Dealers and employees should be calling Chrm. Ford, asking him to stop supporting the homosexual agenda. The Detroit Free Press reported that Ford gives hundreds of thousands of dollars to homosexual groups. Over 40 pro-family leaders urged Ford to remain neutral in the homosexual marriage battle, but Ford refused.

 

While Ford, General Motors and Chrysler had similar financial problems when the AFA boycott began, most analysts see General Motors and Chrysler conditions improving. While not responsible for all of Ford's financial problems, the boycott is not doubt having a major effect. Ford blames it on the cost of gasoline. But General Motors and Chrysler face the same problem of $3 a gallon gas, yet their situation is improving.

 

Ford heavily marketed the Jaguar and Volvo units to the homosexual community, offering cash donations of $500 to $1000 to homosexual groups for each Jaguar or Volvo sold. The homosexual community has given Ford no public support, despite the massive support Ford has given them.

 

Last November Ford agreed to make some changes, then reneged after meeting with homosexual leaders. If Ford would honor their commitment, AFA would end the boycott.

 

For more information on the Ford boycott, visit BoycottFord.com. Every homosexual group Ford supports has as their top goal the legalization of homosexual marriage.

 

Changes Ford agreed to make, then reneged after meeting with homosexual leaders.

 

 

Ford would not renew current promotions or create future incentives that give cash donations to homosexual organizations based on the purchase of a vehicle.

 

 

Ford would not make corporate donations to homosexual organizations that, as part of their activities, engage in political or social campaigns to promote civil unions or same-sex marriage.

 

 

Ford would stop giving cash and vehicle donations or endorsements to homosexual social activities such as Gay Pride parades.

 

 

Ford would cease all advertising in homosexual websites and media outlets (magazines, television, radio) in the U.S. with the exception of $100,000 already budgeted to be used by Volvo. The Volvo ads would be the same ads used in the general media and not aimed at the homosexual community specifically.

I personally believe Bush was elected based on the homosexuality issue. Who in Detroit is so damn stupid not to realize that we are alienating ourselves from half of America for this stupid shit?

 

Also the first benefits to be cut should be the damned Gay benefits to employees. I knew this company was heading for this shitter when I read that a few years back.

I wish I would've saved some of the other emails... The AFA flat out lied about some things like that our diversity training is about having to accept homosexuality in the workplace. I don't know about you but my diversity training was just about not offending people based on race, religion, sexual orientation.

 

That is a crazy commercial... I wonder where they would put that on. Is there a gay channel now?

 

I'm sending an email to the AFA with this link demanding they boycott toyota too.

To believe that Ford supports the homosexual agenda is pretty nieve. They see an opertunity to market a specific group of people, and are doing so, very much like Toyota and the rest of the auto industry. And Ford is one of many employers that offer same sex benifits. Right or wrong, it is just the way it is. Todays media would lay you out and skin you for pulling your advertisements in any medium based on race, religion or sexual orientation. I am not a big supporter of the gay life style, but my God tells me to love my neighbor, and only He is to judge man, not you or I.

One of the big problems in Ford is that there are too many sanctimonious,self rightious bigots 'working'here who spend more time trying to save my soul instead of their own.I am not going into a moral or religious debate but I would point out that my god said ''as I have loved you

,so you love one another'.If you want something to focus on and to save why not try to save Ford.KEEP YOUR BIGOTED OPINIONS TO YOURSELF.By the way I PERSONALLY AM STRAIGHT,SO WHAT?

No matter how you or I feel the point of this discussion is that America is largely against the idea of homosexual marriage and/or special rights and when you start to alienate larges groups of your customers you tend to lose their business. I would say a lot of Fords business is from the moral majority, middle class, and midwest where many of these values are held. I knew someone would call me a bigot and I hope it makes your life better to be a hero for the gay cause but in reality it's not something Ford should be pushing for at the moment.

Well said. I couldn't agree with you more. Those "sanctimonious,self righteous bigots" need to to lighten up and back off. If they don't agree with either Ford or the UAW's policies, then perhaps they should quit.

 

 

 

I'm proud to said that I'm the product of a Jesuit education (University of Detroit), and your statement "I would point out that my god said 'as I have loved you ,so you love one another'." is right on the money. Very well said, sir. Very well said.

ROFL ....

 

 

overall AFA is lying anf pickng out ford for a single reasn - they are weak, and will be for the forseeable Future - AFa knos their sales are goingto go down, so it ieasy to claim it was their doing ... Imagine if they boycotted Toyota - how would they explain the growth of sales? Excatly..

 

Besides.. they cannot claim they caused the declined of Frd sales anyways .. the Plug-in Hybrid Mafia already said that Ford's refusal to built Plug-in Hybrid Escape NOW caused all the decline (I am serious, they did say that, and yes, it is hilarious).

Good point. The AFA, like Bush and the republicans, feed on the ignorance of the "moral majority".

And good grief, are they misinformed to the point of ignorance. and don't forget the vindictive way they come at anyone who doesn't agree with them.

 

 

 

Let's hope the Edge is a runaway, home run hit, and starts lifting sales. Maybe that will shut these people up.

the last time I checked there was a provision in the US Constitution that allows free speech.....it didn't say only if the majority agreed with it...or the people on the left or on the right.....you are passing judgement by calling someone else's opinions bigoted, in escents you are exactly what you are accusing them of being...they may feel very strongly that homsexuallity isa morally wrong....who are you to tell them any different....?

[hemmer1]

I don't embrace homosexuality nor do I condemn those who do.As for the right of free speech,surely the rights of others must be taken into consideration.By the way the U.S. Supreme has on a number of ocassions stated that the right to free speech is NOT absolute.!!
