Joe Babiasz of Huntington Woods, Mich., launched a Web site, www.boycottalabamanow.com, recently to protest Shelby's efforts to prevent Congress from passing a package of loans to the U.S. auto industry.

On his Web site, the General Motors retiree takes issue with Shelby's position and claims Shelby's support of federal grants for Alabama makes the senator a hypocrite. Specifically, the Web site questions grants for Alabama's fishing industry.

The senator's office released a statement calling Babiaz's efforts misguided.

"The purveyor of the Web site does not explain how an attempt to cause job losses in Alabama will save jobs in Detroit," the statement said.
