There is a resolution sponsored in the House of Representatives - H.R. 2743 that will restore the automobile dealer's rights under franchise laws which will hinder GM and Chrysler's ability to arbitrarily eliminate dealers thereby saving tens of thousands of jobs......including mine!

Your support would be greatly appreciated so please contact your Congressman and Senator and encourage them to co-sponsor this bill.

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately I am unable to do so as I am not at liberty to speak with Legislative people ebcause of my job. Otherwise I am always more than willing to tell the government how to do their job.


Best of luck to you.

Wait, what do you do that precludes conversation with legislators? Not even sitting federal judges have that kind of restriction.

So this bill will Force the struggling GM and Chrysler to keep Struggling dealerships who are not contributing to the success of the company open?

Heres my question....

WHen GM "Closes a Dealership"

Can they actualy force the closure of the dealership or are they just pulling the ability for you to sell GM Vehicles?

Thanks Lerincho.

If there are franchise laws that give automobile dealers rights, why does a new law need to be passed?

it's a law to repeal the previous resolution. and techinically it's not a law either. it's a resolution to dissolve the previous resolution, if i am thinking of the same one he is.

The automakers are in Chapter 11 reorganization and are using the bankruptcy umbrella to circumvent franchise laws....this bill will restore the rights dealers had prior to bankruptcy and the automakers will need just cause to eliminate dealers.

The constitution protects the military personal to be active in our democracy. Military personal cannot wear their uniforms at protests tho. Thank God for the constitution and the ACLU who protect our rights every day. The constitution gives you that right no one else.....don't forget that ever.

The constitution gives rights, but I am not sure if having a voice (freedom of speech) in how one is governed (also a liberty of primary worth) is one of those. The constitution merely makes clear to those that otherwise would seek to confuse that these rights are not to be infringed.

The bill of rights reflects but a portion of the inherient rights all men are endowed whether protected by (a)constitution or not.

On a side note for you, as someone that actually worked within a Congression office for a U S Representative. You can call in and they can take the talley of the all the opinions until their hand falls off. The Representative of that congressional office that you called, is going to vote the way his party and the people in power tell him to vote; even if 10000% of the constituents are opposed to it. Pure and simple fact, your opinion matters little within the walls of the legislative branch.

Which will make their backruptcy less effective possibly killing off every single dealer putting even more people out of work. While I feel your pain it could be the lesser of 2 painful things both of which would cost you your job

[MJNOR1]

Thanks to all who have responded and the good news is that H.R. 2743 is gaining steam! Keep contacting your representatives!

[MJNOR1]
