AFA Ends Ford Boycott
Posted by Terrie Soberg under: Judaeo-Christian Values Under Attack .
I received this email from Family Leader. Don’t give up–we can make a difference!
Family Leader is in a national coalition with the American Family Association, and are therefore pleased to spread the word of a major success story, just announced today, that shows the power of the grassroots.The homosexual agenda moves forward in our society with the financial help of major corporations with Ford Motor playing an egregious role. Fed up with the money being poured into undoing the morality of our nation, Don Wildmon, founder of the American Family Association, called for a boycott of the company in 2005 and presented the company a list of conditions that would have to be met before the boycott was called off.
A total of 780,365 individuals signed AFA’s Boycott Ford petition.
This boycott played a key role in convincing Ford to cease its significant support of the homosexual agenda. During the 24 months the boycott was in effect, Ford sales dropped an average of 8% per month. The boycott was not entirely responsible for the drop in sales, but it played a very significant role.
The original agreement contained four items:
Ford would not renew current promotions or create future incentives that give cash donations to homosexual organizations based on the purchase of a vehicle.
Ford would not make corporate donations to homosexual organizations that, as part of their activities, engage in political or social campaigns to promote civil unions or same-sex marriage.
Ford would stop giving cash and vehicle donations or endorsements to homosexual social activities such as Gay Pride parades.
Ford would cease all advertising on homosexual Web sites and through homosexual media outlets (magazines, television, radio) in the U.S. with the exception of $100,000 to be used by Volvo. The Volvo ads would be the same ads used in the general media and not aimed at the homosexual community specifically.
AFA says, “The conditions of the original agreement presented in fall 2005 have been met. We reached the conclusion that Ford had met the conditions of the agreement based on monitoring for several months. Individuals are free to purchase Ford vehicles again.”

This is something I have cared a lot about and I’m so excited it worked. Sometimes we can make a difference.

That is awesome. Wow, it seems like we never win and now -this really makes my day. God bless the homosexuals but may he defend us from their agenda!
(But every Ford I have owned since the pinto station wagon was a piece of Junk. I won’t ever buy a ford again for that reason. They have terrible resale value too, other than the Mustang. Their pickups are good though.)

This whole homosexual issue is going to get bigger and be legislated.
