GM Lobbies Current GM Auto Owners to Contact Congress on Their Behalf

Is that a desperate move or what? - Jeff P. Henderson

GM sent me an email asking me to lobby Congress on their behalf as a GM owner. I printed the email on my blog. Smells like desperation to me to see GM lobbying all of their GM owners to try to get this money through Congress. - Thomas Hawk

yeah, it feel pretty desperate to me. It also strikes me as a bit of an inappropriate way for GM to use my personal information. - Thomas Hawk

I wonder if GM will reach out via twitter. Is GM trying to take a page from the recent political season with this email appeal to their customers. Some say it is a desperate move but I think desperate times calls for desperate means. - Ruth Ferguson

I would agree about the inappropriate use of personal info, Thomas. I'm expecting to find the same e-mail when I get home. My wife also owns a GM vehicle. - Jeff P. Henderson

I called my representatives lobbying them to NOT support the bailout. - Jason Shultz via twhirl

I guess owners of GM vehicles should be concerned though -- it would mean an end to warranties, fixing of future recall worthy faults, and complicate future parts availability. - Brian Sullivan

Autos will be saved regardless of voters input - imran

I doubt it would impact future parts availability. How often do you buy OEM parts for your car. I recently replaced the timing belt and water pump on my car over the weekend and neither of them was OEM. When I replaced the fuel pump on another vehicle it wasn't OEM. - Jason Shultz via twhirl

It's a myth that you won't be able to have your car repaired if they fail. Any good mechanic can work on a GM car and parts will still be made as demand exists. That's what the market does. Now the parts may not be made by employees of labor unions, but that's another story. - Thomas Hawk

@Thomas Exactly. It's just fear mongering by the Big 3 to scare those who don't know any better into helping to bailout their antiquated business models. - Jason Shultz via twhirl

But it does complicate parts availability. Granted most of the parts are probably manufactured by 3rd party suppliers but quite a number of them will fail as well. If there is demand then somebody will move to fill the demand but this will likely be uneven. I am not advocating a bail out but bankruptcy will come with lots of complications. - Brian Sullivan

You have to remember two things: 1. GM doesn't own the dealerships; franchise holders own the dealerships. Ergo, GM doesn't service the products it makes, other than compensation to the franchise-holders in the form of waranty related repairs. 2. The majority of parts for automakers are produced, under license, by independant vendors who still need to make products to stay in business. - Mark VandenBerg

Lobbying efforts aside, how can the US keep affording to bail out industries with hundreds of billions of dollars? Take that money and invest in alternative energy and entirely new and profitable markets will emerge. You can't really do the same with the financial markets but alternative energy is CLEARLY the most prevalent opportunity for profitable investment that could create new jobs to replace ones lost in the auto industry and actually turn the government investment a profit. Something we're not really seeing with the bail out. - Devlin Dunsmore via twhirl

"I want to assure you that we are making our best vehicles ever." Great. Now start making vehicles that can compete with the offerings from the car companies who ARE NOT begging for taxpayer cash to enable their addictions. - Dave Roth

How so? For a specific project or for everything? - John-David Lusan

will 2nd that Powerpoint. Powerpoint? :) Not liking the web-based presenting options Steve? - Dan Keldsen

@JD pretty much all. - Steve Rubel via IM

@Dan First, I don't trust start-ups with my PPTs. Google needs work on exports. Let's see how Microsoft comes up. I bet it will be strong. - Steve Rubel

That's interesting. I guess scaling down is good. I sometimes get overwhelmed with all the applications available to use. How nice would be to have one or two applications that could do pretty much everything. - John-David Lusan

Which apps are you using in the cloud? I am about where you are... - Robert

@Robert Google, TypePad or the apps Edelman provides. - Steve Rubel via IM

then you are following google chrome closely, right? crashes should be much rarer there. but PP, really? There are other solutions aside from Google, know? I thought your pres style would make Keynote the choice. - Sebastian Keil

@Steve - how do I do the same? - John-David Lusan

Steve, what do you use for digital image editing? - Bill Sanders

@Bill I use Photoshop.com and Picnik - Steve Rubel via IM

Sounds like good progress. Firefox is basically my OS now, but I still need to use Keynote and MS Word on occassion. - Nitin Badjatia

I still use Word too now and then. Same with Entourage. - Steve Rubel via IM

I think you should get rid of your bad old time habits from your dark PC days and replace your Office with iWork '08 to get rid of all Microsoft non-sense and on-purpose compatibility problems. Entourage? Mail.app and iCal are here to rescue. - Berk D. Demir

Berk: You can also bypass both and use Google online apps. - Rolf Schewe

What happens if you loose internet connectivity and want to produce something other than a file with PPT or PPS extension? I know, I am being facetious . . . - Ed Richardson

Rolf: Sorry Rolf, Google Docs is no match for Pages nor Keynote. They aren't designed to replace these though. - Berk D. Demir

Steve you just need Firefox, replace ppt with Empressr - Bryan Thatcher via twhirl
