New Car? Buy a Ford


I receive emails from the American Family Association from time to time. I could write to them and tell them to remove me from their mailing list, but I prefer to keep an eye on the crap they ooze to the public. I got this from them yesterday:


Ford Motor Company Supports Homosexual Marriage Movement

Dear David,

You are probably unaware that Ford Motor Company is a major supporter of the homosexual movement, including homosexual marriage.
From redefining family to include homosexual marriage, to giving hundreds of thousands of dollars to support homosexual groups and their agenda, to forcing managers to attend diversity training on how to promote the acceptance of homosexuality, to sponsoring a "commitment (marriage) ceremony", to sponsoring Gay Pride Parades, Ford leads the way.
To let you see Ford's support, we developed the BoycottFord.com site.
I urge you to take action today. Sign the petition to boycott Ford. Call your local Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, Volvo, Jaguar, Mazda and/or Land Rover dealer (all are part of Ford Motor Company) and inform them you will not be buying a Ford product until they stop their promotion of the homosexual movement and homosexual marriage.
Be sure to forward this information to your friends and family. They will be as surprised as you to learn of Ford’s extensive promotion of homosexuality.

Click here to go to BoycottFord.com and take the action listed on the right hand side (signing the pledge and calling your local dealer). Remember, calling your local dealer is very important. Please be polite. If the dealer wants more information, refer him to the BoycottFord.com page.

Sincerely,
Don

Donald E. Wildmon, Founder and Chairman -- American Family Association
P.S. Don’t forget to call your dealer and to forward this to family and friends.

Now I'm all confused! I had decided to no longer buy Fords after learning that they have the lowest MPG average fleet of any auto manufacturer. Now, they go and do something nice. I hate it when companies walk the tight rope instead of being totally good or totally evil. It makes my job as a consumer more difficult!

Individual models may have better MPG than other, comparable brands. It could be worth it to check it out. Obviously, mileage is only 1 variable, albeit important. At least we have the freedom of choice.

I'm so glad to see yet another "family values" organization dedicating hours and hours of their time toward ridiculous campaigns like this. I guess it's easier to organize online boycotts than to actually get out and do something that will help families.
