Dang!

You've got to read the letter written by the CEO of one of the suppliers of the Detroit automakers. It can be found at this link, which begins:

The following is an email that stirred great interest on the internet a few weeks ago. We didn't publish it then as we couldn't verify it's authenticity. I received an email from Greg Knox a couple of hours ago with permission to post at SafeHaven. His delay in responding to our request was because he has been inundated with thousands of emails and letters.

Following is a letter received by Greg Knox from General Motors, and his response:

Dear Employees & Suppliers,

Congress and the current Administration will soon determine whether to provide immediate support to the domestic auto industry to help it through one of the most difficult economic times in our nation's history. Your elected officials must hear from all of us now on why this support is critical to our continuing the progress we began prior to the global financial crisis......................As an employee or supplier, you have a lot at stake and continue to be one of our most effective and passionate voices. I know GM can count on you to have your voice heard. Thank you for your urgent action and ongoing support.

Troy Clarke,
President General Motors North America

Do read the response!

Yeah, I work at Delphi (major GM supplier - in fact, we were part of GM until about 1999). We were all openly lobbied last December to call our local Congressmen and Senators and plead for the bail-out of the Big Three that was then just starting to be discussed in Washington. So this is nothing new.
