To: William Ford Jr., Executive Chairman, Ford Motor Company
Subject: Ford must break with U.S. Chamber of Commerce

Dear Mr. Ford,

I am happy to see that your company is supporting new national clean car standards. These standards will reduce U.S. oil consumption, cut global warming emissions, and save people like me money at the gas pump.

Unfortunately, Ford's environmental commitments are undermined by its continued participation in the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber has sued the Environmental Protection Agency to prevent implementation of the new standards and is actively lobbying against other efforts to curb U.S. global warming pollution.

I therefore ask that you lead the board of directors to make a public break between Ford and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

Sincerely,

The Ford Motor Company has stated that it supports national clean car standards aimed at reducing global warming emissions from the nation's cars and trucks.

However the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, of which Ford is a member, is actively opposing these regulations. They are suing to stop the Environmental Protection Agency from implementing new fuel economy standards for cars.

Please urge William Ford Jr., chairman of the Ford Motor Company, to make a public break from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
