Don't let Chrysler close dealerships

Posted May 29, 2009 11:00 pm

I am employed at a Chrysler dealer in Illinois that is slated to close. I have a family of six children. My wife is not able to work due to all the kids, one of whom is handicapped. I urge you to stop Chrysler from closing dealerships. I have worked hard to house and feed my family. Chrysler cannot be allowed to do such a thing. We do not affect Chrysler and are not a cost to them. We can only generate capital for them.

I woke up this morning, looked up and said, "I was born in America." Did we change government, is this a free America? Can a big corporation tell the little guy what to do? I think not! Can Chrysler in one sweep put 300,000 people across the country who don't even work for Chrysler on unemployment, and they are not even on Chrysler's payroll?

You must fight to stop this craziness. Don't let your voters down. Stand up for what is right, stand up for what our forefathers fought for. I did my part, I voted for you. Now do your part, fight for my children.
