Ford Makes $1B in the Third Quarter   [Greg Pollowitz]

Great news.

And how is this news greeted by the Left? But of course, an e-mail blast from Democrats.com pressuring Ford on global warming:

Subject:

Ford Must Quit the Chamber of Commerce

Text:

Dear ,
What group is doing the most to make global warming worse? The U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
That's why top companies including Apple, Exelon Energy, Pacific Gas & Electric, Nike, and Public Service Company of New Mexico have all quit the Chamber.
If Ford wants to reduce global warming, it must break with U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
Thanks for all you do!

Subject: Ford must break with U.S. Chamber of Commerce
Dear Mr. Ford,
I am happy to see that your company is supporting new national clean car standards. These standards will reduce U.S. oil consumption, cut global warming emissions, and save people like me money at the gas pump.
Unfortunately, Ford's environmental commitments are undermined by its continued participation in the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber has sued the Environmental Protection Agency to prevent implementation of the new standards and is actively lobbying against other efforts to curb U.S. global warming pollution. 
I therefore ask that you lead the board of directors to make a public break between Ford and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
Sincerely,

No doubt the next step will be for Dems to impose an excess profits tax on Ford until it becomes a loyal Party member and breaks its associations with various undesirables. Then, once it complies with the aforementioned global-warming mandates, Ford will finally be competitive with GM and Chrysler.
