A Letter From Dodge Dealer George C. Joseph
This letter was written by a Dodge Isuzu dealer in Melbourne Florida. It highlights the fact that the Nationalization of America is no longer an idle rumor. The raping and pillaging of America and our Constitution is taking place with breakneck speed right before our very eyes. And now, for the million-dollar question… What are we going to do about it?
Read it and spread the word.
Letter from a Dodge dealer
letter to the editor
My name is George C. Joseph. I am the sole owner of Sunshine Dodge-Isuzu, a family owned and operated business in Melbourne, Florida. My family bought and paid for this automobile franchise 35 years ago in 1974. I am the second generation to manage this business.
We currently employ 50+ people and before the economic slowdown we employed over 70 local people. We are active in the community and the local chamber of commerce. We deal with several dozen local vendors on a day to day basis and many more during a month. All depend on our business for part of their livelihood. We are financially strong with great respect in the market place and community. We have strong local presence and stability.
I work every day the store is open, nine to ten hours a day. I know most of our customers and all our employees. Sunshine Dodge is my life.
On Thursday, May 14, 2009 I was notified that my Dodge franchise, that we purchased, will be taken away from my family on June 9, 2009 without compensation and given to another dealer at no cost to them. My new vehicle inventory consists of 125 vehicles with a financed balance of 3 million dollars. This inventory becomes impossible to sell with no factory incentives beyond June 9, 2009. Without the Dodge franchise we can no longer sell a new Dodge as “new,” nor will we be able to do any warranty service work. Additionally, my Dodge parts inventory, (approximately $300,000.) is virtually worthless without the ability to perform warranty service. There is no offer from Chrysler to buy back the vehicles or parts inventory.
Our facility was recently totally renovated at Chrysler’s insistence, incurring a multi-million dollar debt in the form of a mortgage at Sun Trust Bank.
HOW IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA CAN THIS HAPPEN?
THIS IS A PRIVATE BUSINESS NOT A GOVERNMENT ENTITY
This is beyond imagination! My business is being stolen from me through NO FAULT OF OUR OWN. We did NOTHING wrong.
This atrocity will most likely force my family into bankruptcy. This will also cause our 50+ employees to be unemployed. How will they provide for their families? This is a total economic disaster.
HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN IN A FREE MARKET ECONOMY IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA?
I beseech your help, and look forward to your reply. Thank you.
Sincerely,
George C. Joseph

Obama Gives Iran More Time To Develop Nukes
The Trojan Horse is giving Iran six more months before deciding if the strategy for engaging with Tehran is working. Does this make any kind of logical sense? What happens after six months? You, I and Iran know… NOTHING!
The question surrounding President Barack Obama’s outreach to Iran since the beginning has always been about the timetable: How long would he let this diplomatic initiative proceed before he switches to a more punitive course?
Among critics and even privately among members of Obama’s own administration, it has been taken almost for granted that using engagement to get Tehran to abandon its nuclear program is a strategy with a short future, a necessary but ultimately fruitless step on the way to something far tougher.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was quoted as saying earlier this year that she doubted Iran would jump at the offer of better ties with Washington. When he talks about Iran, Vice President Joe Biden always emphasizes that no option is off the table, a indirect way of saying that a U.S. military strike remains possible,
But whenever Obama himself has a chance to clarify his own views on this question, he finds a way to put more time on the clock.
He did it Monday after meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when he vowed wait until the end of the year before deciding if the strategy for engaging with Tehran was working.
