Ficano seeks support of his ad campaign defending automakers
Wayne County — Today, Executive Robert Ficano in partnership with Detroit Regional Chamber, has launched a new website –www.americanautoindustryrocks.com -- to promote support for U.S. automakers. He is continuing a radio campaign in the Detroit market and out of state in support of the auto industry bailout.
Last week, Executive Ficano withdrew nearly $10,000 from his campaign coffers to buy ad time in Alabama and Washington to defend the automakers. He wants to extend his campaign and is seeking financial support.
One of every 10 jobs in America is related to the U.S. auto industry. During times of war, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler were known throughout the world as the "Arsenal of Democracy," building tanks, vehicles and planes to aid in the fight for our country’s freedom. If American automakers go out of business, millions of direct and indirect jobs will be lost, Ficano said.
"We have to be pro-active," said Ficano. "The auto industry needs to be heard and we need to show our support. Jobs, lives and this region’s future are at stake. We cannot sit idly by and watch any of the Big 3 file for bankruptcy."
Ficano is asking for support from Michigan businesses and residents. He urges people to go to his website, www.americanautoindustryrocks.com , and support the campaign.
"This is a national issue with a lot of jobs and businesses from across the country on the line," said John Carroll, vice president for the Detroit Regional Chamber. "It's important this message gets out. That's why we are supporting this campaign."
Attached is a letter of support for the auto industry bridge loan signed by those who are supporting Executive Ficano’s campaign.
