    Its such a shame Ford thinks it needs to fight this. If Ford was making more efficient cars it might not be as screwed as it is now. I used to be a major Ford fan but I think now they are less forward thinking then GM.

    So if the legislation was passed Ford would probobly do better in the long run.

    Alan Mulally (about Ford's problems): "We seek to be understood, more than we seek to understand."

    I don't know which is worse; if he's not aware of this, or if he *is*...

    Keep the letters going!

    One of my Senators responded:

    I felt really, really good after reading that (even if it is a ploy, which I very highly DOUBT). Again, keep them going! The more they hear from us, the better the odds that they would be willing to listen :D
