AFA Reinstates Ford Boycott Over Gays
http://www.365gay.com/Newscon06/03/031306ford.htm

The American Family Association and 18 other conservative groups on Monday reinstated their boycott of Ford Motor Corporation over its support for gay rights.

The AFA said the company "reneged on an agreement to stop funding homosexual groups that promote same-sex marriage."

Joining the boycott are the Center for Reclaiming America, Liberty Counsel, CatholicVote.org, Faith2Action, and Citizens for Community Values among other.

Liberty Counsel, a conservative law practice, has been involved in fighting LGBT civil rights initiatives nationwide.

1. Nobody cares
I doubt whether a small group of extremely vocal fundies can make any kind of a financial impact on Ford.

2. Agreed.
Too many people overlook the fact that just because you have an official organization and you're vocal, that doens't mean you have the numbers to accomplish anything.

4. I'm sure the KKK will join in as well. . .
maybe the automobile manufacturers should boycott THEM. . .let the fundies walk or use their brooms for getting around to spread their evil.
