Michigan Auto Worker Says: "Boycott Alabama Now"

Alabama Sen. Richard Shelby has been a leading voice against bridge loans for General Motors,
Ford and Chrysler. He and a group of Republican senators said Wednesday
that they won't support a bridge loan deal agreed upon by Democrats
and the White House.

A long-time worker of the Detroit Big Three automakers started a website
called "Boycott Alabama Now". Website creator Joe Babiasz worked in the auto
industry for over 30-years.

"I wish there was a way we can grab Mr. Shelby by the ear
and drag him up here, because I personally - my opinion is that he couldn't
run a lemonade stand," said Babiasz.

He has listed rebuttals to Shelby's arguments
against giving the companies the aid.

Babiasz is encouraging supporters to not travel or purchase items from Alabama.

"The goal is to have a nationwide boycott - to have
thousands and thousands of people tell him, as well as the state Chamber of
Commerce through links on the website that we won't support your state. You
don't support us, we won't support you," said Babiasz.
