Road Trip, indeed

“Car dealers, parts makers, union leaders and others hoping to convince lawmakers that the industry is an indispensable piece of the economy are planning a caravan to Washington in early December.” (via NYT)

“It started with a small group of 50 or 100 vehicles driving from Detroit to D.C. But by Monday morning there were thousands of e-mails, phone calls and even handwritten notes dropped off at the office supporting the effort or asking to participate. It just kept growing.” (via DetNews)

Because of the outpouring of support, they’re making it a virtual march. Tune into TheEngineofDemocracy.com, on Monday, December 1, where supporters can share their stories about how the auto industry impacts their lives.

I still hope they road trip it.
