Dear Senator Shelby,

Let me start this by saying that while I am not a resident of Alabama, I have now made a decision to refrain from purchasing any product or service from a company that is based in Alabama. I do this because of your stance on the Detroit Three Automotive Loans. If you care to understand why, please read below.

I have been following the Hearings on the request by the Detroit Three for a $25 Billion Dollar LOAN which have been shown on CSPAN.

I am very disturbed that you find it necessary to try and block this LOAN which represents 4% of the $700 Billion that Congress gave away so easily to Financial institutions. The same financial institutions that were not required to attend hearings to request the money, were not required to submit Business Plans, and were not required to submit to oversight by Congress. These were the institutions that held lavish parties after receiving the funds and instead of using the money given to them by Congress to open up the credit market, they are now buying up other financial instutions.

I find it very hypocritical that you have used Millions of taxpayer dollars to lure three foreign automotive manufacturers (Honda, Hyundai, and Mercedes) to the State of Alabama which will not be paid back, yet you threaten to filibuster the current Loan request. The Illinois Governor has recently made the news for corruption and trying to use his position for his own personal gain. The way it looks to me is that you care about Alabama, and the three foreign automotive manufacturers in your State perhaps more than you care about The United States as a whole.

What is going to happen to all the car dealers and other businesses directly or indirectly related to the domestic automotive industry in Alabama? Do you think they'll last long if one or more of the Detroit Three go bankrupt? I believe more people will be affected in Alabama by this crisis, then the number of people employed by your precious foreign automotive manufacturers.

I implore you to reconsider your decision and VOTE FOR the Loan. Thank you for your time.
