We knew it couldn’t last.
On Monday, nineteen conservative groups renewed plans for a boycott of the Ford Motor Company on the grounds that the
automaker reneged on a purported accord to cease supporting gay organizations.
Led by the American Family
Association (AFA), the groups have set up an internet site calling upon consumers to shun the Blue Oval.
For its part, Ford quickly
responded by stating that it remains “proud of its tradition of treating all with respect and we remain focused
on what we do best, building and selling the most innovative cars and trucks worldwide.
Ford shares dropped one cent
(to $7.83) in Monday afternoon trading.
