An open letter to GM, Ford and Chrysler (Mostly GM!) by Betsy Rosenberg, Creator, Host - EcoTalk Radio www.ecotalk.netCo-Founder - Don’t Be Fueled! Mothers For Clean and Safe Vehicles

Dear Big Three Automakers,
So there you are in Washington DC with your hands outstretched and your hats out, speaking truth to power. “We’re in trouble Mr. Treasury. Please bail us out Uncle Sam, Please don’t let us die Mother Earth, don’chya know we’re too big to fail?” Those were the plaintive cries heard echoing in the nation’s capitol chambers from the mouths of once powerful and almighty Titans of the SUV Age. And just like their gas-guzzling former darlings on wheels, these men, and they ARE mostly men, suddenly seem old, tired and of a bygone era. Good riddance gentlemen, your vehicles were just too big to succeed!

Somewhere in the depths of your gas-filled gut, you must have known judgment day was coming. All those years you made 10 – 15 thousand dollars profit on each giant guzzler you sold, such a large mark-up that your sales teams were trained to push the biggest and the baddest models onto unsuspecting consumers. Car buyers looking for a 2 or 4 door sedan would drive off the lots feeling high and mighty about the great deal they got, until they filled up at a gas station. That’s when the gloating went into idle.

--snip--

So now you say we should bail you out; the government you fought, and the public you duped into thinking we “needed” these behemoths of the road? What do you take us for, fossil fools? No, you lived off those axles of evil, laughing all the way to the bank. Now we should save you from bankruptcy and an untimely death?

1. Gasoline will be $.99 a gallon by Christmas

How do you convince the vast majority of non-politically involved Americans to stop using gas when they KNOW it was all a scam by the wealthy to inflate the prices last Summer?

And what do you tell those people who gave up the cars they WANTED to drive for econoboxes and now can't sell the econoboxes? WWW.cars.com and look for the number of used Priui (yeah I know) for sale and how CHEAP they are. I found 57 within 50 miles of my home with a max price of $20,000.
