So,Mr. Blatt thinks that AFA’s Ford Motor Co. boycott wasn’t and isn’t effective. Then why are my husband and I not buying Ford products anymore?

I am not even a member of AFA but I signed the boycott petition. I am not a radical conservative who cringes if I hear an occasional “hell” or “damn” on a program or movie. Now the F-word deeply offends me, especially when used as it was by ESPN’s Jacobson recently. I do detest tatoos and multiple bodypiercings, especially those that are on the parts of the anatomy visible in street clothes. I don’t care if Ford offers same-sex domestic partner benefits. That is their business. It is the stubborn support and sponsorship of the homosexual lifestyle that has led me to swear off Ford products. boycott.

Just about every vehicle my family owned as I was growing up was a Ford. And my husband and I have owned many Ford products through the years. We still purchase Ford 1-ton crew trucks for our oilfield construction business.

However, we do not have a Ford product under our personal carport.

I would probably have already replaced my Suburban with a Ford Expedition except for the boycott.

Recently, I have decided that I would like to downsize a bit. I still won’t even look at what a Ford dealership might have to offer.

Ford’s financial incompetence has certainly contributed to their losses in sales and income. But the financial management decisions did not impact my decision to boycott Ford products. And there are many more ex-customers just like me – enough to have made a large dent in Ford’s bottom line even without their financial gaffes.

Thanks for letting me tell my side of the story.
