AFA Delays Ford Boycott

From the Boycott Ford website:

UPDATE!

FORD BOYCOTT SUSPENDED UNTIL DECEMBER 1, 2005

Following a meeting with a group of Ford dealers, AFA has suspended its boycott of Ford Motor Company until December 1, 2005. In the meeting, the dealers asked for time to see if the concerns raised by AFA in their boycott announcement could be addressed by them in cooperation with officials from Ford Motor Company.

AFA felt that the dealers were making a good faith effort and agreed to accept their request. Therefore, the suspension request was accepted by AFA. During the remaining period AFA will work with the dealers in attempting to resolve our differences.

We urge those supporting the boycott to disregard the boycott until December 1, 2005.
On or about December 1 we will notify our supporters as to status of the boycott.

I reckon they'll pretend they're making progress for the benefit of the 2.2 million sheep following them. Helps build membership excitement and more donations.

While the boycott may be on hold, I still encourage everyone to tell Ford that they support Ford's diversity program and not to bow under pressure from a hate group.

And I encourage everyone to tell the AFA where they can permanently shove their boycott come December first.
