Save the Auto Industry... Boycott Alabama!

Save the Auto Industry... Boycott Alabama!

Emotions have flared when it comes to whether or not the government should bailout the Big 3 automakers. However, rather than sit idly by, regular guy Joe Babiasz decided to take action. He’s calling on a boycott of Alabama (yes, the state) because of Alabama Sen. Richard Shelby’s criticism of the auto industry.
 

Detroit resident Babiasz worked for General Motors for 34 years and, unlike Shelby, he really believes in the auto industry. So, understandably, he’s angry with the senator. And thus he created BoycottAlabamaNow.com.
 

MyFox Detroit reports:

"You will not go to the state. You won't vacation there. You won't do any business there... won't purchase their cars," Babiasz says.


Babiasz wants people to write and call Sen. Shelby's office. He has links on his Web site. He says he's sorry to the hard working people of Alabama, but a message must be sent to their senator.


"My goal is to have a nationwide boycott, have thousands and thousands of people tell him, as well as the state chamber of commerce... we won't support your state. You don't support us, we won't support you," says Babiasz.

People go to Alabama?
 

That curiosity aside, if you feel strongly about saving the Big 3, check out the website and boycott Alabama also. And throw Arkansas in there too… what has it done for us lately?
