Gay Lynn Freeman To whom it may concern that will get this is President Elect Obama's hands. I have been a Indipedent Automobile dealer for more that 20 years in Dallas and I have also worked Farm and Ranch Real Estate in surrounding counties as well as my first company @19 yr. old brokering oil and gas. I was a Petroleum Engingeer Assistant for Spindletop Oil, in Dallas. If you could get GM to go to INTERNET SALES with just a few options offered, maybe package A, B, C,D Then we could help bail out the auto makers. The cars could be shipped after ordered! to a location such as a dealership or even their homes, and cut down on all the options and over making of cars, but make them all onstar and quality, like the new malibu. We would see a quick turn around in the industry, the workers could still bill to order (like Ford did) and the internet could take up some slak on job layoffs. Let me know what you HONESTYLY think. Sincerely, Gay Lynn Freeman 214-236-0313

Rick Warren: The Wrong Choice
Comments from Left Field —
... If there was ever a time to reach out to the side of the fence that didn’t oppose him tooth and nail all the way to the White House, this is it. I would suggest people might want to leave a suggestion at change.gov and ask him to rethink this choice.
