Weho Politicians Blast Ford Gay Ad Decision
http://www.365gay.com/Newscon05/12/120905wehoFord.htm

The mayor and mayor pro tem of West Hollywood have blasted Ford Motor Corporation Chair William Ford for the company's decision to end its advertising in the LGBT media.

In a strongly worded letter Mayor Abbe Land and Mayor Pro Tem John Heilman accuse Ford of bowing to "pressure from a blatantly prejudiced, anti-family group; ironically self-titled the American Family Association (AFA)."

West Hollywood is the only city in the nation with where a majority of the citizens are gay.

It is so great the publicity this is getting

rock on guys and gals!

1. I do love the publicity it is getting.
I e-mailed Ford and let my local dealership know that I wouldn't be buying either the Ford hybrid or the Ford truck - purchases that I had been considering.

We must fight all control the AFA is trying to exert over our lives, in my humble opinion (that's the "American Family Association.").
