DO YOUR PART FOR GM!!!

GM has a homepage setup for this. No need to go through 2nd and 3rd party sites

Fixed.

No - and so be it. After years of not helping themselves, the only help they're going to get from me is $35K, if they can manage to get my car off of the production line. Yes, some of the situation they find themselves in is due to the credit fiasco. 90% of it is due to how they have operated their business - the credit fiasco is just the threatening last nail in the coffin.

As it is more evident everyday, the bailouts were the wrong move. Now Paulson is basically saying "You know what, scratch that.. I'm going to do this with your $1+ trillion instead." - and he answers to nobody. The government has absolutely NO IDEA what they are doing, and they cannot be trusted - who knows where this money will end up. Two weeks ago Barney Frank was on TV saying how disappointed he was that bailed out investment banks were going to be giving millions in bonuses to their execs - he actually said he trusted the banks to do the "right thing". ARE YOU SERIOUS?!

Guess what people, the economy is going to have a melt down - whether it be tomorrow or 20 years from now, because this cannot continue. So, lets get it over with and build something a little better than this house of cards.

While you may have points that people may agree with, there's other threads for that so please, let's keep things relevant to the thread topic out of respect for the OP and not to mislead people people entering this thread based on that topic.

I believe if you want to see the Camaro succeed then I suggest take a few seconds and do the letter. More importantly save thousands of jobs. No time to play the blame game.

I'll spare my prteaching for other threads, but GM can not be allowed to fail.

Let your legislators know that GM must succeed and federally backed loans will help.

BUT.....
......be sure to tell your legislator to DEMAND accountability, a solid business plan, and to demand the firing of anyone they deem necessary at GM from the CEO to board members, to senior managers who is uncovered to have been a contributing factor to GM being in this position or played a role in misleading the public and investors.


GM can't fail. But at the same time, we taxpayers simply can not funnel continuous amounts of treasure to pay for horrendous management and perhaps (god forbid) outright fraud.

Well said!

I signed it, but I haven't contacted my legislator yet. We definitely can't allow the big 3 to fail, or things are going to get much worse. I say they should be given a loan just like one was given to Chrysler in the '80's.

Sorry for the 2nd party link :( I didn't want to post it that way, just figured we were all in it together...my sincere apologies!

Could we possibly make this a sticky?

I'm totally for this as long as it's understood that the direction of the company must change. I don't want to fund the same ol song and dance. :)

As well as dismatling Unions and other beaurocracies counter productive to the company succeeding :)

huh....looks like my 6 month old daughter also sent a letter to her congressman.....wonder how she did that....

Ok, went to the site to sign this, but it says my senator requires more info to accept. Phone #(no problem) and a subject drop down box. What does this fall under? Appropriations? Labor? Transportation? Other? I was thinking Appropriations but just want to make sure mine is identified properly by Sen. Bayh.

Any option it has for the Economy....

Got this from my senator...

Thank you for contacting me regarding a financial rescue of the automakers. It is good to hear from you.

The automobile industry has deep seated problems that cannot only be solved by more money. Instead, a restructuring of the industry is needed. I am not in favor of using taxpayer funds to bailout the industry.

Got this from my senator...

Smart senator

For those who vote republican and favor a bailout of the auto industry....your logic is flawed.

While we are referencing political issues and politics, let's make sure those references are clearly Camaro and automotive related, please.

Let's keep it Camaro/automotive and not political, please.

While I respect the fact that this is your site and you make the rules. I am not sure it is fair to have a post asking people to contact their legislators and ask them to support a financial support package and then tell those that don't agree they should not post their opinons or reasons that they are not in support of the effort. I will respect your request and not post my opinons about the matter however I think the original post opens the door to a potentially lively debate with merits on all sides. Since the original post is by its very nature a political question if we want to stay strictly on point to Camaro discussions I would suggest this entire thread has no place on this site.

Thanks

Tom

Tom, thanks for pointing that out. I don't want this one turning into just another political argument that has nothing to do with the automotive industry and is just opinionated bickering that is completely irrelevant to the issue. I clarified my post above.

I don't care about any political aspects of this series of threads. I wrote on this board back in 2006 when everyone was falling over their tongue about the new Camaro that GM was bleeding through every financial hole they had on their corporate body. They had no business entering the muscle car era. Especially with such a poor excuse of a 'retro 1969' design that looked more like a Cadillac CTS with a slightly growly grill. The 2005 Mustang and now Challenge eats GM's lunch in the classic through back lines mixed with the smooth now generation corners.

Now with GM not only bleeding through every oriface they now need money just to buy pens, paper and golden parachutes.

Yeah, I'm sure they are going to show up at Washington next week with a business plan that illustrates they have a plan for more fuel efficient cars - oh, don't mind Congressman about that lil ole 400+ hp rocket we are building.......


Jesus, GM. Make up your mind what are you going to be when you grow up. Cause at the age of 57 I don't have much time left to throw my money around bailing out a bunch of BB sized balled Leadership.

Got this from my senator...

Nail. On. Head.

Better late than never! I just found this last night, I'm in.
