I have an Idea - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

YellowSub1962 · 02-23-2001, 10:17 AM

Since the posting of the "Ford" article on the LUN, POR and several other boards lately, There has been a lot of talk about large corps sponsoring "environmental" groups. It was brought to my attention that Chevy actually donates to The Nature Conservency (TNC). It was also asked if anyone has asked these companies to support Pro- access Groups, Such as BRC, United, CA4WDC, etc... I say we accept the mission of FLOODING each company we decide on with letters everyday for a solid week. We can ask them to look into supporting groups that use their products, instead of groups that want to eliminate the use of their products on public lands.

Any thoughts, suggestions or ideas?? Anyone choose to accept this mission with me??<IMG SRC="http://cwm.ragesofsanity.com/s/ut2/camper.gif" border=0>

Since I kinda started a mass mailing (on a few other lists as well

)to Ford already, regarding the NAS issue, Why don't we start with them. This week will be tough for me (getting ready for TDS), but I will continue to write " short letters" to them. Let's do what we can this week, and I'll get more organized after TDS.

Hopefully next week I'll be able to start working on a "form letter" of some sort... If anyone else has any suggestions or input, Let me know. I'll take any input I get and incorporate it into a "main" letter.

Thanks for your interest, and lets see if we can't get some money FOR our cause from the companies we support!!

Yeah, that would help out a lot, I'll send one every week(stamps are expensive for a college student, or I'd do it every day

) So help me help you!
