Ford Boycott Leader: Homosexual Ties Taking Car Company Downhill

(AgapePress) - - The latest sales figures for Ford Motor Company continue the ongoing story of the company's declining bottom line -- a several-percentage-points drop in sales that the leader of a pro-family group ties in with a boycott and the economy.
Ford says its report for June, released this week, shows the company's total auto sales down 6.9 percent. Car purchases did rise 7.1 percent; however, truck sales dropped 14.5 percent. Don Wildmon, founder and chairman of the American Family Association (AFA), believes one of the things hurting the auto manufacturer's profit margin is the boycott his organization launched against the automaker this year.

AFA initiated the Ford boycott to protest Ford's affiliation with homosexual and liberal causes. Other organizations and individuals have joined in, and Wildmon believes the pro-family consumer protest is progressively hurting the automotive giant. "They've been going downhill at least since we began the boycott," he says, "and their stock continues to fall."The boycott against Ford was called after company officials reneged on an agreement to stop advertising in homosexual publications, the AFA spokesman notes. He says the sales slump the company is now experiencing is a direct result of its decision to continue promoting a family-unfriendly, pro-homosexual agenda.
"It's regrettable," Wildmon says, "but it appears that chairman Ford is willing to take the corporation into bankruptcy to pacify a handful of homosexual leaders." Of course, the pro-family activist acknowledges that other factors are probably having an impact on Ford's declining sales figures, including a difficult economic climate and high gas prices.
"Is the boycott responsible for all of this? No," Wildmon admits. "The economy does play a role."
Still, he insists, the effect of the pro-family consumers' boycott of the automaker cannot be discounted.
"We have over a half a million, over 500,000 families who have signed the boycott pledge," Wildmon points out. "These concerned citizens will continue boycotting all Ford products until the automaker stops supporting the homosexual agenda," he says.
