CLG: Ford Paying Tea Partiers to Protest Detroit Auto Show

CLG Exclusive: Source: Ford Paying Tea Partiers to Protest Detroit Auto Show By Lori Price, www.legitgov.org 07 Jan 2010 The Ford Motor Co. is paying Tea Partiers to protest against the Detroit car manufacturers at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show, Citizens For Legitimate Government has learned.

In December 2008, Ford did not take any government auto bailout money unlike its Detroit-based competitors, General Motors Corp. and Chrysler LLC. Ford set up $23.5 billion worth of credit in 2006.

Ford is paying the Tea Party protesters in order to increase their market share through brand loyalty.

CLG contacted Ford Motor Co. for comment Wednesday, and Ford has not responded. This article will be updated with their response, should they provide one.

Update: FORD MOTOR COMPANY and PR firm BURSON MARSTELLAR have been visiting the CLG, reading this story, etc.

According to an administration official who spoke with the Free Press today, Obama has no plans on going to Detroit for the show to pose with plug-in hybrids or electric-vehicles.
