"Pro Family" groups aim at Ford again
http://www.sovo.com/thelatest/thelatest.cfm?blog_id=4501

A coalition of 42 "pro-family" groups issued a joint statement Jan. 11 demanding Ford Motor Co. abandon its support for gay organizations.

In a letter to Ford written by American Family Association Chair Donald Wildmon, the groups accused the nation’s second-largest automaker of going back on a promise to the AFA to disengage itself from gay causes.

"After meeting with seven homosexual leaders and without any input from thousands of their dealers who stand to be adversely affected by Ford’s decision, Ford made their decision to renege on actions they told AFA they would take," Wildmon wrote.

"Ford’s support for these groups pushing homosexual marriage can only hurt dealers across the country. Why would Ford put the interests of seven homosexual groups ahead of the interests of all their dealers? Simply because Ford considers seven homosexual leaders more important than thousands of their dealers."

2. Oh, it's that silly AFA again...
probably still thinking their boycott of "The Book of Daniel" is still a success.

Yawn...

I think I'm going to send Mr. Wildmon a pair of tickets to the opening ceremony at this years Gay Games in Chicago. :P

5. Thankfully
Ford is simply ignoring them. The AFA is just boycott happy. They need to figure out a more productive way to spend their time.
