Do Something to Aid the Auto Industry

Short of buying 1 or 2 million cars yourself, the best thing you can do to help the auto industry is to make a phone call.

Call the Congressional Switchboard Toll Free (1-877-331-1223) and urge Senators Stabenow and Levin to keep up the good work. Call Rep. Mike Rogers (ask for the one from Michigan because there are two) and tell him he needs to support his constituents and keep his campaign promise to fight for jobs.

Another thing you can do is contribute to an effort by Detroit-area leaders to raise money to run radio commercials in Kentucky, Tennessee, and Alabama to educate people about the importance of the U.S. auto industry and encourage representatives and senators from those states to support the auto industry loan.

Involved in the fund-raising are the AFL-CIO, the UAW, local mayors and Wayne County Executive Robert Ficano, the Detroit Chamber of Commerce, and local big wigs.
