Ford boycott over, we won.
The American Family Association
Donald E. Wildmon 3/13/08 Michigan - AFA is suspending its two year boycott of Ford Motor Company. The conditions of the original agreement presented in fall 2005 have been met. We reached the conclusion that Ford had met the conditions of the agreement based on monitoring for several months. Individuals are free to purchase Ford vehicles again. Your support of the boycott played a key role in convincing Ford to cease its significant support of the homosexual agenda. During the 24 months the boycott was in effect. A total of 780,365 individuals signed AFA's Boycott Ford petition. The original agreement contained four items: 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 on homosexual Web sites and through homosexual media outlets (magazines, television, radio) in the U.S. with the exception of $100,000 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. Thank you for caring enough to get involved Source: AFA ActionAlert Commentary: Woo hoo. Mustang anyone. I‘m still a little pissed as the ole lady got a new car last year that wasn‘t a Ford. Oh well, ya snooze ya lose… Don’t forget we still have one on Procter and Gamble. They’re main sponsors of television syndication promotion of the homosexual agenda. Woo Hooo

Re: Ford boycott over, we won.
I'm glad that's resolved so that I can get back to not buying Fords. The beauty of the free-market system is that consumers can make their opinions felt, however silly and whimsical they happen to be.
Nothing matters to me more in terms of buying cars than the sexual orientation of organizations to which they donate a small sum of money. Quality, reliability, and my own best interests be damned!

 On the one hand, we have people who won't buy a car because the company donates to a charitable cause affiliated with homosexuals, and on the other hand, we have someone who won't buy a car because they stop doing it. I guess you can't please everyone all the time. Still, I think auto manufacturers probably ought to consider scrapping things like quality control and design in favor of worrying about whether or not people support gay marriage

Manufactures know that homosexuals don’t like activism and exposure anymore then women like the N.O.W. cows, but companies give into the extortion and threats of boycotts because liberals don’t know. We fight all this liberal extortion stuff, you just don’t hear about it (Well, you may have heard of the one on stores banning Christmas.).
