Dobson's "Focus on the Money" foundation supports Ford & dumps
Wells Fargo...........



http://www.pandagon.net/archives/2005/12/ford_caves_in_t.html

FORD (snip)
The American Family Association called off its boycott of Ford, but apparently it was because the automaker agreed to cave, pulling its plan to target ads to the gay market in publications for Jaguar and Land Rover. It's calling it a "business decision."

Wells Fargo (snip)
“Focus on the Family has elected to end its banking relationship with Wells Fargo, motivated primarily by the bank’s ongoing efforts to advance the radical homosexual agenda. These efforts are in direct opposition to the underlying principles and purpose of Focus, and thus a decision of conscience had to be made, and a stand taken."

-- Focus on the Anus President and CEO Jim Daly

1. Well, how about a business decision of our own...stop buying Fords.
I would love to see a progressive advocacy group swing into action when businesses capitulate to blackmail from hate groups and hatemongers such as the AFA and Focus on the Family.
