            <description>Our American Motorist Vote Campaign Families Will Suffer Under Cap-and-Trade


As the health care battle rages on, pundits are quick to point out the importance of doing reform right - after all, it composes one-sixth of the American economy. Unfortunately, harping on that number seems to have reminded Congress of one thing: there&apos;s a whole lot of the economy left to take over! 

Enter the Kerry-Boxer Cap-and-Trade bill, the Senate counterpart to this summer&apos;s barely-passed Waxman-Markey House bill. Released on September 30, the &quot;Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act&quot; has flown largely under the radar, benefiting from the sound and fury over health care. The issue is deserving of far more attention, however, because of the devastating impact it will have on every American families.

Economist at the Liberal Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, testified that low-income families would bear a &quot;disproportionate burden of the costs associated with effective policies to reduce the use of carbon-based energy because they spend a higher proportion of their budgets on energy and energy-intensive goods and services than higher-income households do.&quot; 

Concerns were echoed a week earlier that &quot;households in the middle fifth would see net losses in purchasing power amounting to 0.6 percent of after-tax income in 2020 and 1.1 percent in 2050.&quot; 

In other words, these economists are warning that it&apos;s not the rich, but average American families and those families who have the least will be hit hardest by the inevitable increase in prices that will result from a bill that&apos;s effectively a tax on carbon-and therefore a tax on everything. 

The American Motorist Vote Campaign acknowledges that the economy will take a hit, stating that the House bill would reduce GDP below what it would otherwise have been-by roughly .25 to .75 percent in 2020 and by between 1 and 3.5 percent in 2050. AMVC dismisses that finding by asserting that the economy is predicted to grow so those changes will be comparatively modest. 

Given the other tax burdens soon to be placed on the American public (a trillion dollar health care plan and the expiration of the Bush tax cuts, to name just two) it&apos;s much less certain that the economy will grow as predicted. 

Politicians try to disguise the impact that Cap-and-Trade legislation will have on American families. After all, it&apos;s not a direct tax on individuals. Yet the effect will be the same. The Cap-and-Trade bills impose additional costs on energy production and use, in order to discourage the use of &quot;dirty&quot; fuels and energy-intensive processes while rewarding industries deemed &quot;green.&quot; 

Businesses that emit carbon - manufacturers, utility companies, and refiners - must buy carbon dioxide permits as a condition of doing business, and those are certain to be passed on to you, the American consumers. 

A study released by the offices of Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson (R-TX) and Sen. Kit Bond (R-MO) calls the Waxman-Markey bill a $3.6 trillion Gas Tax that will hit All Americans many times over. 

According to the report, &quot;Americans will pay higher gas taxes to drive their families, workers will pay higher gas taxes to get to work, truckers will pay higher diesel taxes to deliver their goods, businesses will pay higher gas and diesel taxes to run their operations, farmers will pay higher diesel prices to grow their crops, and air passengers will pay higher ticket prices to take their trips.&quot; The price of everything is going to go up across the board, leaving families with less money in their pockets. 

Hopefully families will still have jobs, of course, but Cap-and-Trade will make that less likely too. When faced with higher prices, businesses will be forced to make tough decisions. Simply speaking, the more resources companies have to devote to utilities, the less they will have for employees&apos; salaries and benefits. 

At a time of high unemployment and looming inflation, the American Motorist can scarcely afford yet another government tax - yet Congress seems bound and determined to burden struggling families and the struggling economy. Politicians can try to disguise or downplay the real economic consequences of this legislation, but American families can&apos;t afford to be fooled again. This legislation will drive up costs on everyday items and hit poor families the hardest. Is this really the direction we want our Country to take?

The American Motorist Vote Campaign is working tirelessly, night &amp; day, contacting every State Senator to not place the burden of Cap &amp; Trade by Voting this bill into law.

Now is the time for ACTION! Harry urges you to contact your Senator and tell them that the American Family cannot afford the burden of Cap &amp; Trade now or ever. www.americanmotoristvote.com

The battle is time consuming &amp; costly. Harry is asking you to donate what you can: $10, $20, $30, $40, $50, or $100.

            <description>Jason Norris &amp; Larry Bradely join Harry on Car Concerns Radio Today!

Car Concerns Consulting estimates that more than 50 percent of car lease shoppers today are not qualifying for a tier-1 lease price at a dealer with many turning to the secondary lease swap market for the right deal. Failing to qualify for tier-1 pricing because of a confusing credit threshold can end up costing consumers thousands over the term of a new lease. 

A person&apos;s credit history and credit score determine the monthly payment and also the security deposit and down payment requirements on new car leases. With beacon scores lower today, many consumers are qualifying for only undesirable leasing payments.

Credit is analyzed differently in the secondary lease swap marketplace, where Car Concerns Consulting matches interested auto lease shoppers with an affordable car lease. Although shoppers still must have good credit to take over a lease, there are no additional levels of credit approval based solely on a person&apos;s credit beacon score that then determine which tier they fall into for pricing. 

&quot;Keeping good credit is the most important part of a family&apos;s balance sheet during this period of economic recovery,&quot; said Harry Douglas, Founder of Car Concerns Consulting &quot;We&apos;re working with people every day who have the credit to get a car lease but can&apos;t qualify for the best payment at a dealer. Through lease transfer, these people are getting approved to take over a lease that was initially tier-1 pricing with a great, low payment.&quot;

Car Concerns Consulting the nation&apos;s most popular lease swap marketplace, is working with a growing number of customers with mid-range credit scores that are still able to get approved for a car leases with tier-1 pricing. The company matches car shoppers with individuals who no longer wish to stay in their leasing contract. Car Concerns Consulting works with the lease company to transfer the lease from one person to another.

Car Concerns Consulting Advice - NO CHARGE
Not A Joke!! You will love Harry for these tips. 

Read this and make a copy for your files in case you need to refer to it someday. Maybe we should all take some of his advice! A corporate attorney sent the following out to the employees in his company: 

1. Do not sign the back of your credit cards. Instead, put &apos;PHOTO ID REQUIRED.&apos; 

2. When you are writing checks to pay on your credit card accounts, DO NOT put the complete account number on the &apos;For&apos; line. Instead, just put the last four numbers. The credit card company knows the rest of the number, and anyone who might be handling your check as it passes through all the check processing channels won&apos;t have access to it. 

3. Put your work phone # on your checks instead of your home phone. If you have a PO Box use that instead of your home address. If you do not have a PO Box, use your work address. Never have your SS# printed on your checks. (DUH!) You can add it if it is necessary. But if you have It printed, anyone can get it. 

4. Place the contents of your wallet on a photocopy machine. Do both sides of each license, credit card, etc. You will know what you had in your wallet and all of the account numbers and phone numbers to call and cancel.. Keep the photocopy in a safe place. 
you also carry a photocopy of your passport when traveling either here or abroad. We&apos;ve all heard horror stories about fraud that&apos;s committed on us in stealing a Name, address, Social Security number, credit cards.. 

Unfortunately, Ted, an attorney, have first hand knowledge because my wallet was stolen last month. Within a week, the thieves ordered an expensive monthly cell phone package, applied for a VISA credit card, had a credit line approved to buy a Gateway computer, received a PIN number from DMV to change my driving record information online, and more. 
But here&apos;s some critical information to limit the damage in case this happens to you or someone you know: 

5. We have been told we should cancel our credit cards immediately. But the key is having the toll free numbers and your card numbers handy so you know whom to call. Keep those where you can find them. 

6.. File a police report immediately in the jurisdiction where your credit cards, etc., were stolen. This proves to credit providers you were diligent, and this is a first step toward an investigation (if there ever is one). 

But here&apos;s what is perhaps most important of all: (I never even thought to do this.) 
7. Call the 3 national credit reporting organizations immediately to place a fraud alert on your name and also call the Social Security fraud line number.. Ted had never heard of doing that until advised by a bank that called to tell me an application for credit was made over the Internet in my name. 

The alert means any company that checks your credit knows your information was stolen, and they have to contact you by phone to authorize new credit.

Car Concerns Consulting estimates that more than 50 percent of car lease shoppers today are not qualifying for a tier-1 lease price at a dealer with many turning to the secondary lease swap market for the right deal. Failing to qualify for tier-1 pricing because of a confusing credit threshold can end up costing consumers thousands over the term of a new lease. 

A person&apos;s credit history and credit score determine the monthly payment and also the security deposit and down payment requirements on new car leases. With beacon scores lower today, many consumers are qualifying for only undesirable leasing payments.

Credit is analyzed differently in the secondary lease swap marketplace, where Car Concerns Consulting matches interested auto lease shoppers with an affordable car lease. Although shoppers still must have good credit to take over a lease, there are no additional levels of credit approval based solely on a person&apos;s credit beacon score that then determine which tier they fall into for pricing.

Harry,

The insurance industry doesn&apos;t like my car. It may not like yours, either.

You would do well to find out.

It&apos;s not that auto insurers have it out for your car, the Subaru Impreza WRX. It&apos;s just their business to keep track of what insurance claims all the people who drive my car file, and try to discern trends that will help them predict future losses, and charge accordingly.

On that score, the Subaru WRX apparently hasn&apos;t done so well.
 
The 2007 Buick Rendezvous, bottom, out of production, ranked best.
.In a report on insurance losses for 2005-2007 models released by the Highway Loss Data Institute earlier this month, the Subaru WRX ranks No. 1 on the Top Ten list of models with the highest losses for all types of coverage. 

The HLDI ranks vehicles using an index in which 100 is average. The WRX scored a 189. That&apos;s close to my typical one-round golf score, and as in golf, higher is bad.

Auto insurance costs aren&apos;t the first thing most shoppers think about when they evaluate a new car to buy. 

But it&apos;s an important cost to consider even if you decide, as I did, that you are willing to pay extra in order to drive a car you like.

Harry is out to Reduce Harmful Emissions and at the same time Increase Your Engines Performance and get your present vehicle More Mile Per Gallon - MPG...Now...Today! 

 *Improve Fuel Consumption 
 *Savings up to 20% 
 *Reduces Harmful Exhaust Pollutants 
 *Lowers Greenhouse Gases 
 *Quick and Easy Installation 
 *Lasts for 10 years 
 *Improved Horsepower 
 *It&apos;s Affordable 
Was $299.00 USD Now Only $179.00 USD

Car Concerns Fuel Saver is a technological breakthrough in a simple-to-use device that is easy to install. The results are validated by California Environmental Engineering (CEE) - Center for Environmental Research. It is both United States EPA recognized and CARB certified. Click here to read an official letter showing our product works. 

The Car Concerns Fuel Saver has the ability to change three areas within the spectrum of gasoline by absorbing the CH (Benzene) of saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbon. According to the university research papers, the ceramics absorb the thermal energy from their surrounding environment then release it in a specific wavelength, breaking the intermolecular van der Waals force (the force that binds molecules) between the gasoline molecules. This results in the change of aggregation of gasoline molecules from &apos;cluster&apos; to &apos;single molecule&apos;. This changes several properties of the gasoline, such as surface tension and flash point. The surface tension is decreased, resulting in better atomization (smaller droplets) of the fuel, which provides a greater surface area to make contact with air, leading to far greater fuel efficiency. This in turn increases horsepower, reduces fuel consumption, reduces carbon build-up and reduces toxic and greenhouse exhaust emissions.

            <description>The Car Concerns Crew is booked to travel to the 2010 NAIAS to See Improved Cobo Center in January.

Jay Norris Co-Host with Harry on Car Concerns this morning with Larry Bradely reporting from Omaha Nebraska.

Detroit, MI - November 2009 - Work on upgrades for the 2010 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) is well underway at Detroit&apos;s Cobo Center. The new regional authority governing the facility has seen $9.4 million advanced to Cobo from the State of Michigan, with approximately $3 million to be used for renovations that will be completed in time for the 2010 NAIAS in January, one of the world&apos;s premiere automotive events.

Primary upgrades include electrical, loading docks, roof repairs, floor and landscape improvements - all of which will be welcomed by exhibitors and show organizers alike.

&quot;The NAIAS is a critical, must-attend stop on the international auto show circuit and has been for decades,&quot; said Doug Fox, Chairman of the 2010 NAIAS. &quot;We have done a great job with the tools given, but we live in a mode of continuous improvement just like our exhibitors. To give them these upgrades will have an immediate impact on an outstanding show, going beyond expectations once again. We&apos;ll be providing existing and potential exhibitors with a venue that keeps it on par with the world&apos;s premiere international shows.&quot;

A primary example is that the loading docks will be upgraded to include a new covered area to increase safety and efficiency for load-in and load-out during the winter months.

Fox said these improvements are just the beginning; longer term improvements will include reducing the cost of doing business in Cobo and making it more user-friendly, upgrading the facility&apos;s quality and service.

All vehicles built since the 1981model year listed for sale on eBay now include vehicle history reports from Experian Automotive at no cost to vehicle buyers or sellers.

Starting today, the reports are available on all vehicles sold in eBay auction and classified formats, as well as for vehicles sold by dealers or by private parties, said Nicolas Franchet, senior director of U.S. vehicles at eBay Motors.

&quot;We&apos;re interested in being the best place to buy and sell your car online,&quot; Franchet said.

If ever there were a place an $87,900 plug-in hybrid-electric vehicle would be a smash hit, it would be in the People&apos;s Republic of Santa Monica. 

After all, there&apos;s a city codicil that says residents must drive a Prius to enter the Whole Foods parking lot. Well, not really. They can get an exemption if they own a Tesla. 

So it came as little surprise that the grand opening of the Santa Monica Fisker dealership, which included a display of a swoopy Fisker Karma hybrid sedan, would be heaving with people. The invite-only event, held at a former Lexus dealership repurposed to house the Fisker franchise, was limited to 200 invitees. Judging by appearances, most showed up. In ADD-plagued Los Angeles, that alone is saying something.

 WASHINGTON â?? U.S. Senator Bob Corker, R-Tenn., member of the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee, made the following statement today regarding Banking Committee Chairman Chris Doddâ??s (D-CT) draft financial reform legislation. 

â??We are still reviewing the 1,000+ page bill, but Iâ??m more hopeful than I was a few weeks ago that we will be able to come up with a bipartisan bill,â?? said Corker. â??Banking Committee members have spent tremendous amounts of time trying to address these issues, so I hope the bulk of the bill will be negotiated and worked out in committee, by members of both parties. Thatâ??s the best way to produce a bipartisan bill that can stand the test of time.â??

            <description>Don&apos;t Slam On The Brake It&apos;s Just Wednesday!

American Motorist Vote Campaigne, 
Since when is a tax hike not a tax hike? Apparently when Nancy Pelosi uses political doublespeak to mislead the American people.

Nancy Pelosi&apos;s linguistic contortions, Dirt-Eating-Grin, as she argues that a $1.4 trillion dollar tax increase -- one of the largest in America history -- on middle class families and small businesses isn&apos;t one at all.

Any way you put it, the fact of the matter is the Obama and Pelosi Democrats don&apos;t believe you should be able to keep more of your hard earned income.

They support confiscating more of your money through higher taxes to fund their reckless spending and debt, expand the size and scope of government and redistribute your wealth to their liberal allies.

But Pelosi and Team will not stop at $1.4 trillion in new taxes. Under her leadership, the Democrat controlled U.S. House has already passed a national energy Cap and Trade tax that could cost American businesses and families nearly $2 trillion and cause massive job losses, not to mention a continuing anemic U.S. economy for years to come.

There is only one way to stop Pelosi and Obama from raiding your pocketbook to pay for their liberal schemes: Electing Republican majorities to the U.S. House and Senate in 2010.

The Republican National Committee is leading our Party&apos;s drive to recruit and elect strong conservative candidates who believe in our timeless principles of lower taxes, limited government, individual freedom -- and will work to end the Democrats&apos; radical tax-and-spend agenda.

Please support the The American Motorist Vote Campaigns effort by making a secure online contribution of $25, $50, $100, $500 or $1,000 right now @ www.americanmotoristvote.com 

Please forward this American Motorist Vote Campaign Message to your friends and family who think Nancy Pelosi and her Friends have already taxed enough of their hard earned money.

Only with your help can the American Motorist Vote Campaign hold Pelosi accountable for her dishonest rhetoric and her true plans to raise your taxes. Thank you in advance for your support.

P.S. Friend, if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and looks like a duck -- it must be a duck. And a tax hike is a tax hike no matter how Nancy Pelosi parses her words. Pass this message along to your friends and colleagues about the Democrats&apos; plans for one of the largest tax increases in American history. And please make a secure online contribution of $25, $50, $100, $500 or $1,000 to the RNC to support and elect Congress and Senate Reps that believe in the principles of lower taxes, limited government and personal responsibility.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee from the 1993 to 2004 model years may be investigated by federal safety regulators after a complaint that its fuel tank is an exposed fire hazard that may have contributed to hundreds of deaths.

Last month the nonprofit Center for Auto Safety complained that the SUV&apos;s fuel tank extends below the rear bumper and is inadequately protected from crashes and rollovers. 

The vehicle&apos;s fuel filler neck also tears off in crashes, said the center&apos;s petition for an investigation and recall.

G.M. Corruption: A former General Motors manager admits he pocketed $6.5 million in kickbacks involving the sale of hundreds of millions of pounds of aluminum worth $1 billion. 

Daniel Bealko appeared before U.S. District Judge Charles Kocoras in Chicago to plead guilty to wire fraud and tax evasion. He was in court last week after his extradition from Liechtenstein, where he was arrested last year. Before that, he was believed to have been living on the Caribbean islands of St. Kitts and Nevis. 

Bealko is formerly from Clarkston, Mich. He admitted that he took the kickbacks to steer GM&apos;s sale of the aluminum to a buyer who already has pleaded guilty.

For most American Motorist the encounters with Police are limited to traffic stops for minor infractions like speeding or a burned-out headlight.

            <description>It&apos;s Time For The Millions Upon Millions Of American Motorist To Stand Up And Lead!

As American Motorist And Retail Automotive Consumers, We Turn The Wheels-Of-Commerce In The USA. We Buy,The Vehicle, We Finance The Vehicle,We Service The Vehicle, We Insure The Vehicle, And The List Goes On. 

Harry ask you to join him as he fights tirelessly for the rights of every American Motorist. &quot;OUR POWER...OUR NUMBERS!&quot;
www.americanmotoristvote.com



We, As American Motorist Are The Back-Bone OfThe 

American Economy. When We Don&apos;t Spend, The EconomyComes To A Halt Has It Has Done Now Under These Crippling Gas Prices. High Energy Cost Is The Real Fuel Behind The Roaring InflationThat We Are Seeing On The Horizon Now.


Billed as a way for the government to put more fuel-efficient vehicles on highways, the popular $3 billion &quot;cash for clunkers&quot; program mostly involved swaps of old Ford or Chevrolet pickups for new ones that got only marginally better gas mileage, according to an analysis of new federal data by Car Concerns Consulting. 

The single most common swap -- which occurred more than 8,200 times -- involved Ford F150 pickup owners who took advantage of a government rebate to trade their old trucks for new Ford F150s. They were 17 times more likely to buy a new F150 than, say, a Toyota Prius. The fuel economy for the new trucks ranged from 15 mpg to 17 mpg based on engine size and other factors, an improvement of just 1 mpg to 3 mpg over the clunkers. 

Owners of thousands more large, old Chevrolet and Dodge pickups bought new Silverado and Ram trucks, also with only barely improved mileage in the middle teens, according to AP&apos;s analysis of sales of $15.2 billion worth of vehicles at nearly 19,000 car dealerships in every state. Those deals helped the Ford F150 and Chevy Silverado -- along with Ford&apos;s Escape midsize SUV -- climb into the Top 10 most-popular vehicles purchased with the government rebates. The most common truck-for-truck and truck-for-SUV deals totaled at least $911 million.

 In scores of deals, the government reported spending a total of $562,500 in rebates for new cars and trucks that got worse or the same mileage as the trade-ins -- in apparent violation of the program&apos;s requirements. The government said it is investigating those reports and said in some cases they were probably entered incorrectly by dealers or based on outdated fuel economy figures. 

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is still reviewing the reports, and any dealers that submitted invalid trade-ins will be directed to return the government rebate, spokesman Eric Bolton said.

 The government sharply criticized Toyota Motor Corp. Wednesday for its &quot;inaccurate and misleading&quot; suggestion that sudden acceleration in some vehicles bound for recall may be due only to improperly fitting floor mats. 

The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration&apos;s criticism of Toyota&apos;s statement is the latest hit to the automaker&apos;s reputation from what will be the largest safety recall in its history: 3.8 million vehicles. 

NHTSA said Toyota inaccurately suggested in a press release this week that the agency had concluded &quot;that no defect exists in vehicles in which the driver&apos;s floor mat is compatible with the vehicle and properly secured,&quot; the agency said in a statement.

More Toyota News fro Car Concerns Central: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on Tuesday opened a preliminary investigation into corrosion on 218,000 Toyota Tundra pickups -- the latest safety issue to dog the Japanese automaker. 

In a notice on its Web site, NHTSA said its Office of Defects Investigation had opened a preliminary probe into corrosion linked to spare tires and brake lines on 2000 and 2001 model year Tundras. 

The government said it has &quot;received 20 reports on the subject vehicles that relate to spare tire separation and brake system failures as a result of severe frame corrosion.&quot; 

This isn&apos;t the first trouble Toyota has had with corrosion on pickups. 

Last year, Toyota offered to buy back 1995-2000 model year Tacoma pickups whose frames were rusted beyond repair. The buyback -- 1.5 times the Kelley Blue Book price -- applied to pickups in 20 cold weather states. 

Toyota also agreed to apply supplemental corrosion treatment and inspect and replace frames if necessary on 2001-04 Tacomas in cold weather states, but not to buy them back.

&quot;LIVE&quot; from the floor of this years SEMA Automotive Convention at the Las Vegas Hilton Convention Center Harry&apos;s good friends from Liquid Wrench make the call into Car Concerns Radio to start the show off. This year Liquid Wrench is launching a New Penetrating Oil and a New Chain Lube Formula. Good Stuff! www.liquidwrench.com

A former top executive at Chrysler said on Monday that the No. 3 U.S. automaker, which emerged from bankruptcy in June by selling most of its assets to Italy&apos;s Fiat S.p.A., has less than a 50 percent chance of long-term survival.

Jerry York, who once worked as chief finance officer at Chrysler and as a director General Motors, but is best known as an adviser to billionaire investor Kirk Kerkorian, said two big question marks continued to hang over Chrysler.

The first, York said, was timing. &quot;Will some combination of industry sales, and product -- including product from Fiat -- get there in time before they run out of cash?&quot;

The second question, York said, was perception. &quot;As we all know, Fiat for historic reasons, does not have a great reputation in this country,&quot; he said.

&quot;So it&apos;s a question mark in my mind, and in the minds of most people I talk to -- how many units based on Fiat platforms can really be sold?&quot;

CAR CONCERNS RADIO WATCH-OUT: Thieves have found an alarmingly novel way to bag themselves a car, freshly serviced and washed, some even with the keys in the ignition - they&apos;re preying on the service departments of motor dealerships.

Imagine taking your car for a service and being told by the dealership later that day: &quot;So sorry, we can&apos;t seem to find your car...&quot;

That thieves are choosing to steal used cars from the service department rather than new cars from the gleaming showroom floors on the other side of the dealership says volumes about which is considered to be the softer target.

There is talk of syndicates acting with help on the inside, but in any event, in many cases the brazen crime is successfully carried out thanks to appalling negligence, with keys being allowed to be left in ignitions and none of the prescribed security safeguards, such as signed security slips, being enforced.

            <description>The Members of the American Motorist have their Turn-Single on and are ready to get in Fast Lane.

With our Government in Washington wholly controlled by the more liberal forces it is hard to say if conservative members of Congress have what it takes to block some of the the disastrous policies like Cap &amp; Trade and the proposed Health Care Reform.

If you are like the listeners on my Radio Talk Show you are totally confused.

Read: www.americanmotoristvote.com

&quot;Our Numbers...Our Power&quot; The American Motorist Vote Campaign, A Force That Can&apos;t Be Denied!

Harry has talked to thousands of American Motorist Vote Campaign members in the last couple of years. Callers into Car Concerns Radio...people that have attended American Motorist Vote Campaign and folks that Harry has run across in in daily meetings. They all have strong opinions about what went wrong the last eight years in Washington and what should be done that they have a voice in the future.

Harry urges all American Motorist Vote Campaign members to vote tomorrow in elections across the nation.

The American Motorist Vote Campaign suggests that you support these candidates: 

US Representatives 
Rob Wasinger (KS-1) www.robwasinger.com 
Jim Tedisco (NY-20) www.jimtedisco.com 
Doug Hoffman(NY-23) http://doughoffmanforcongress.com/ 
 
Governors 
 
Bob McDonnell (VA) www.bobmcdonnell.com 
 
State Attorneys General 
 
Ken Cuccinelli (VA) (Endorsement) www.cuccinelli.com 
 
US Senate 
 
Rob Simmons (CT) www.joinrobsimmons.com 
 
LT Governors 
 
Sam Aanestad (CA) http://cssrc.us/web/4

By any measure, we live in the greatest country in the history of the world. Every generation of Americans has an obligation to keep it that way and ensure that future generations live in freedom, security and prosperity.

This requires adherence to the fundamental, conservative principles that have unified us for over two centuries. They are:

The role of the federal government is limited to the powers given to it in our Constitution. The bigger the government gets, the less competent it is to run our lives, and we must have leaders who understand that the market works best when it is regulated and legislated least.

A dollar belongs in the pocket of the person who earns it; the government must make the case that the dollar is better spent in the national interest, and must be accountable for it.

We don&apos;t spend money we don&apos;t have, or borrow money that our children and grandchildren will have to pay back.

The best way to avoid war is to be stronger than our enemies. But if we are in a fight, we win it because not doing so makes us more likely to be attacked in the future, and we must have leaders who understand this. Strong &amp; bold!

The federal judiciary is supposed to decide cases, not legislate from the bench or dictate social policy. The selling of Lady Justice on the Court House steps must stop!

These are principles that made our country free, prosperous and strong. These principles are the foundation of a conservative movement that Harry has have been faithful to. They are principles that we share, and they are principles that represent the future of our nation, the Republican Party and the conservative movement.

These principles are under assault today, under assault from the extremist, big-government, high- taxing, weak-on-defense radical left.

That is why it is important that we not only believe in these principles, but that we support and defend these principles wherever challenges may arise. We must take on the responsibility of leadership, and the American Motorist Vote Campaign is the perfect vehicle that will do just that. www.americanmotorist.com

The American Motorist Vote Campaign is helping to identify and support candidates on every level who support a platform of conservative, principles-based leadership and policies.This support will arrive in many ways: financial yes, but also through our American Motorist Vote Campaign on-the-ground engagement, and our development and support of principles-based policies.

And perhaps most important, the support of the American Motorist Vote Campaign will send a clear message to our fellow conservatives and supporters nationally that our causes and candidates who believe in our principles and who will defend them are in need of our help.

Leveraging this kind of support and activism has served movements like the American Motorist Vote Campaign well for two generations. Now it&apos;s our turn.

One of the main lessons of the brutal U.S. recession -- that loose credit terms can come back to bite lenders -- may keep the U.S. auto market from returning to the peaks it hit earlier this decade.

            <itunes:summary>The Members of the American Motorist have their Turn-Single on and are ready to get in Fast Lane.

With our Government in Washington wholly controlled by the more liberal forces it is hard to say if conservative members of Congress have what it takes to block some of the the disastrous policies like Cap &amp; Trade and the proposed Health Care Reform.

If you are like the listeners on my Radio Talk Show you are totally confused.

Read: www.americanmotoristvote.com

&quot;Our Numbers...Our Power&quot; The American Motorist Vote Campaign, A Force That Can&apos;t Be Denied!

Harry has talked to thousands of American Motorist Vote Campaign members in the last couple of years. Callers into Car Concerns Radio...people that have attended American Motorist Vote Campaign and folks that Harry has run across in in daily meetings. They all have strong opinions about what went wrong the last eight years in Washington and what should be done that they have a voice in the future.

Harry urges all American Motorist Vote Campaign members to vote tomorrow in elections across the nation.

The American Motorist Vote Campaign suggests that you support these candidates: 

US Representatives 
Rob Wasinger (KS-1) www.robwasinger.com 
Jim Tedisco (NY-20) www.jimtedisco.com 
Doug Hoffman(NY-23) http://doughoffmanforcongress.com/ 
 
Governors 
 
Bob McDonnell (VA) www.bobmcdonnell.com 
 
State Attorneys General 
 
Ken Cuccinelli (VA) (Endorsement) www.cuccinelli.com 
 
US Senate 
 
Rob Simmons (CT) www.joinrobsimmons.com 
 
LT Governors 
 
Sam Aanestad (CA) http://cssrc.us/web/4

By any measure, we live in the greatest country in the history of the world. Every generation of Americans has an obligation to keep it that way and ensure that future generations live in freedom, security and prosperity.

This requires adherence to the fundamental, conservative principles that have unified us for over two centuries. They are:

The role of the federal government is limited to the powers given to it in our Constitution. The bigger the government gets, the less competent it is to run our lives, and we must have leaders who understand that the market works best when it is regulated and legislated least.

A dollar belongs in the pocket of the person who earns it; the government must make the case that the dollar is better spent in the national interest, and must be accountable for it.

We don&apos;t spend money we don&apos;t have, or borrow money that our children and grandchildren will have to pay back.

The best way to avoid war is to be stronger than our enemies. But if we are in a fight, we win it because not doing so makes us more likely to be attacked in the future, and we must have leaders who understand this. Strong &amp; bold!

The federal judiciary is supposed to decide cases, not legislate from the bench or dictate social policy. The selling of Lady Justice on the Court House steps must stop!

These are principles that made our country free, prosperous and strong. These principles are the foundation of a conservative movement that Harry has have been faithful to. They are principles that we share, and they are principles that represent the future of our nation, the Republican Party and the conservative movement.

These principles are under assault today, under assault from the extremist, big-government, high- taxing, weak-on-defense radical left.

That is why it is important that we not only believe in these principles, but that we support and defend these principles wherever challenges may arise. We must take on the responsibility of leadership, and the American Motorist Vote Campaign is the perfect vehicle that will do just that. www.americanmotorist.com

The American Motorist Vote Campaign is helping to identify and support candidates on every level who support a platform of conservative, principles-based leadership and policies.This support will arrive in many ways: financial yes, but also through our American Motorist Vote Campaign on-the-ground engagement, and our development and support of principles-based policies.

And perhaps most important, the support of the American Motorist Vote Campaign will send a clear message to our fellow conservatives and supporters nationally that our causes and candidates who believe in our principles and who will defend them are in need of our help.

Leveraging this kind of support and activism has served movements like the American Motorist Vote Campaign well for two generations. Now it&apos;s our turn. We must step up, protect our values, defend our principles and our country. Together we can do something great for America. I welcome that challenge, and I hope you will join us in this effort. www.americanmotoristvote.com

            <description>Auto Expert Brian Moody Co-Host with Harry this morning. Their first Guest is Julia Pilas, Author of the book &quot;On The Street Where You Live&quot; Check it out: www.juliaapilasauthor.com

Here We Go...Travel 2010! The Road starts in Las Vegas in the first of November and goes to Los Angles in December. The North American Auto Show is in January in a New Super-Sized Cobo Center on the Banks of the Detroit River in the Motor City and then in the dead of Winter it&apos;s the Chicago Auto Show and as Spring tries to emerge it&apos;s the International Auto Show in New York City in April 2010.

And Miles To Go Before I Sleep!

Republican Tennessee Senator Bob Corker made this interesting observation on the GMAC situation.

The U.S. government has provided two TARP infusions totaling almost $13 billion, as well as $4.5 billion issued in government backstopped debt through the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee program at the FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation), making the total U.S. taxpayer stake in GMAC a staggering 35.4 percent. 

&quot;Continuing life support to an institution like GMAC is a major mistake,&quot; said Corker. &quot;It creates enormous risk to taxpayers, is an inappropriate use of government subsidies to support jobs in a specific sector of the economy, and continually breathes new life into a zombie institution that should be seized and resolved. At what point are we going to stop propping up zombie institutions to support industrial policy through our banking system? TARP, which was put in place during a period of crisis, has turned into an economic stimulus slush fund for the administration at the expense of Americans and should expire at the end of the year when Congress intended.&quot;

Senator Corker goes on to say, &quot;The implications of codifying TARP, as the Obama administration has proposed, are extraordinary. Their draft language regarding resolution authority clearly enshrines the &quot;Too Big to Fail&quot; mentality, essentially allowing the government to use unchecked taxpayer monies to prop up failed institutions at the expense of successful companies and hard working Americans. Presumably, since GMAC was one of the top 19 institutions that faced a stress test by banking regulators last spring, it would be considered a covered financial company under this new legislation. GMAC gives us a glimpse into the future under the Obama administration&apos;s plans for resolution authority. We need to end this &quot;Too Big to Fail&quot; mentality now.&quot;

Have you been following Harry&apos;s Talk on the future of Gold since August 22 09&apos;? 

&quot;This one&apos;s getting ready to run -- The volume&apos;s going wild!&quot;

That&apos;s the message I just got from my colleague, gold expert Tom McGregor.

You should know Tom doesn&apos;t get this excited very often. He&apos;s one of the few precious metals insiders out there who actually &quot;walks the talk.&quot;

So when he tells me he&apos;s on to something that&apos;s building a ton of excitement -- and he can&apos;t keep it under wraps any longer -- I&apos;m inclined to pay close attention.

You see, Tom has just returned from his third site visit to a small mining operation... one he&apos;s been following closely for the last 12 months.

A small company whose stock -- he&apos;s convinced -- is getting ready for a torrid run.

According to Tom, we&apos;re looking at an easy triple in the short term... with the potential for a 35 to 1 return in the long run.

And in his brand-new report, Tom reveals how this mining operation&apos;s drill results are about to make it &quot;the best thing to happen in the gold exploration business in the last 50 years.&quot;

Harry urge&apos;s you to read it right away. The gains could literally happen overnight.

What Harry is tracking: 
American Bonanza +1400% 
Canadian Zinc +1200% 
Southwestern Gold +1183% 
Bema Gold +1011% 
SilverCorp +610 

Send your Check or Money Order for $9.95 + $1.99 (S&amp;H) to:

P.O. Box 10883
Knoxville, TN 37919

Harry Gives You a Second Chance at Profit Opportunities You Won&apos;t Find Anywhere Else on the Planet!

If you were with me from the beginning, you&apos;ve be enjoying these run-ups... 

1,316% from Guyana Goldfields
1,200% gains from Canadian Zinc
1,803% gains from Nova Gold
And 7,060% gains from a little-known copper and platinum company.

But those are just a handful of the winners Tom and I have brought home.

            <description>George W. Bush is going on a motivational speech tour. Harry thinks that he will be a natural motivator.

Look how many were motivated to the Demo Side in the last Presidentail Elections.

Was Harry Murdered? Was Justice Served?

In this other LIFE...Harry LIVES! Like This! A Lost Mystery! Stories Untold!

The Cash-For-Clunkers program that boosted the economy that gave consumers up-to $4500 per sale. It cost the U.S. Citizen an average of $24,000 per sale.

A report just out that could have an effect on all American Motorist...Herpes could cost a 50% lost of memory in late life. Of course it could cost you loss of car, house, savings and whatever your spouse may choose now!

Jack-Ass of the month! The two pilots that missed the runway by over 150 mile. 
NO the guy who invented Auto-Pilot.

I&apos;m sure you&apos;ve heard the news -- Barack Obama has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. It&apos;s a stunning, if not truly surprising, indication of just how meaningless a once honorable and respected award has become. 

What has President Obama actually accomplished? It is unfortunate that the president&apos;s star power has outshined tireless advocates who have made real achievements working towards peace and human rights. 

Even the normally fawning media have expressed shock at the clearly political and unmerited award. But the Democrats clearly see it differently, with DNC spokesman Brad Woodhouse stating &quot;the Republican Party has thrown in its lot with the terrorists -- the Taliban and Hamas this morning -- in criticizing the President for receiving the Nobel Peace Prize.&quot;

Like most Americans, the DNC can&apos;t think of one achievement that the president has accomplished, so they resort to their predictable response and standard playbook of demonizing anyone who disagrees with them. 

First they call Americans concerned over health care &quot;rabid extremists&quot; and &quot;angry mobs.&quot; Now, when challenged to answer the question of what the president has accomplished, Democrats are lashing out calling Republicans terrorists. That type of political rhetoric is shameful. 

Friend, the Democrats and their international leftist allies want America made subservient to the agenda of global redistribution and control. And truly patriotic Americans like you and our Republican Party are the only thing standing in their way. 

Help our Party spread the word about the Obama Democrats&apos; dangerous naivete and power grab. Please support GOP elected officials as they work to hold the Democrats accountable to the American people for their failed policies and irresponsible rhetoric by Joining &amp; contributing to: www.americanmotoristvote.com

In an incredibly short period of time the Congrees &amp; Senate along with the present administration have increased domestic spending by more than 80%. As we amass trillions of dollars of government debt - a projected $9 trillion in the next ten years - we are becoming a nation more and more beholden to foreign governments - including China - who buy our debt and will gain more power each year to influence our economic decision-making. 

In taking these actions and disguising their left-leaning agenda as much-needed &quot;stimulus&quot; to our nation&apos;s economy, President Obama and his team have made our economy vulnerable to foreign leverage, dealt a giant blow to our country&apos;s free enterprise system and saddled America with a massive multi-trillion dollar debt that will take generations to pay off. 

Simply put, they have mortgaged our children&apos;s future and we must stop them. We need your help to do it. 

That is why Harry Douglas &amp; Car Concerns Radio has launched our first Future of American Motorist Vote Campaign and why I urge you to be silent no-more...Join &amp; Support: www.ameriacanmotoristvote.com

The American Motorist Vote Campaign will work to advance your economic interests, not those of the left-leaning special interests. With your help we will strengthen our Campaign, better define our American Motorist ideals and message, recruit and back strong, dedicated candidates - and build a national grassroots campaign of education and action that will make sure that you and other citizens have a voice in setting forth a responsible economic policy that will prove beneficial - not destructive - to American Motorist future. But to succeed we need your immediate input and support. Join &amp; Support: www.americanmotoristvote.com

P.S. Our President and Congress are pursuing economic policies that will prove disastrous to our nation in the coming years. It must be stopped. It is crucial that you Join &amp; Support The American Motorist Vote Campaign today.

Always For You Thank you, Harry Douglas

            <description>On Car Concerns Radio Harry is calling on President Barack Obama and congressional leaders to press for a second round of Cash for Clunkers. The difference this time, only for Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler vehicles.

Pointing to sales results that showed eight out of the top 10 vehicles purchased during the initial incentive program were foreign models. The two manufacturers that received federal loans need a new economic shot in the arm. Not next Spring...Now!

Why do we send American tax dollars to foreign-headquartered automobile manufacturers? We need desperately to stimulate American-made vehicle sales because the domestic auto industry in America continues to suffer.

&quot;There seems that there is no political will to do that,&quot; a Republican Congresswoman told Car Concerns Consulting. &quot;I don&apos;t think the administration or either chamber the House or the Senate wants to go another round of Cash-For-Clunkers.&quot;

The top 10 new vehicles purchased under Cash for Clunkers were, in order: Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic, Toyota Camry, Ford Focus, Hyundai Elantra, Nissan Versa, Toyota Prius, Honda Accord, Honda Fit and Ford Escape. Half of those vehicles are built in the United States.

The domestic Big Three employ eight of 10 American auto workers and purchase nearly 80 percent of all U.S. auto parts.

This month&apos;s new vehicle sales (including fleet sales) are expected to be 830,000 units, a 0.6 percent decrease from October 2008 and a 11.4 percent increase from September 2009, according to Car Concerns Consulting. 

Analysts predict that October&apos;s Seasonally Adjusted Annualized Rate (SAAR) will be 10.35 million, up from 9.19 in September. Of course ther are pleanty of variables at play.

October 2009 had 28 selling days, one more than last October 2008. When adjusted for this difference, sales decreased 4.1 percent from October 2008. www.carconcerns.com


WDIV-TV4 in the Motorcity is the Home Station for Business Editor Rod Maloni who makes the call @ 9:00 A.M. (EST). If Harry wants to know what is gping on on the INSIDE of the Auto Industry then he calls up his Ace, Rod Maloni.

Joe Severns of Pirelli Tires of North America makes the call into Car Concerns Radio in the final segement.

Pirelli Tires always makes the SEMA Automotive Show in Las Vegas and always has exciting new tire products to reveal to the public and this year is no different. www.us.pirelli.com 

Also on the Car Concerns Crew contact list, Parrot makes a pitch for the Car Concerns Product of the Year search. Kelly will provide some information about a new product Parrot&apos;s RKi8400, a fully integrated hands free car stereo system that works with iPhone, iPod and other devices to deliver calls and music. This will be the product&apos;s U.S. launch. Kelly Zachos, spokesperson for Parrot, at 10:15 in the morning. Harry invites you to try it for yourself: Here is the link to the online demo. 
http://www.parrot.com/parrot-rki8400/

If time premits Harry will interview Famous Rhodes, director of parts and accessories for eBay Motors. www.eBay.com

Are you following Harry&apos;s Auto Index 100 and the Gold Buys that he has engaged in since August of 09. If you have followed you have became wealthy when Harry suggested that you get in at $922 and hold on for a wild-ride upward. harry@carconcerns.com

Speaking of the Car Concerns Auto Index 100: AutoNation Inc., the largest U.S. dealership group, posted its biggest profit of the year and said it would boost spending by 65 percent next year to update and buy stores.

The net income of $65 million compares with a $1.4 billion net loss in the previous third quarter.

â??We are optimistic for the long-term prospects of the auto industry based on the successful restructuring of the domestic auto industry, the move to a demand-pull system and the rationalization of the dealer network,â?? CEO Mike Jackson said today in a statement. 

AutoNation said its board of directors had approved $150 million in capital expenditures in 2010, a 65 percent increase, along with $250 million for repurchasing company stock.

The names may not be famous, and they may never be on the National News, but the American Motorist is not standing alone...they are in fact a part of an army of millions of like-minded American Motorist just like them. 

We all will need the resources of the American Motorist Vote Campaign. Our Voter List, grassroots voter ID and turnout. Plug-in to the American Motorist Vote Campaign&apos;s issue research and national and state messages.

A Cash-For-Clunker Consumer in New York is seeking class-action status for a lawsuit accusing Penske Automotive Group Inc. of not passing along the money received from a scrappage company for a vehicle traded in under the cash-for-clunkers program. 

The lawsuit could pave the way for other consumers to seek payments from dealers in excess of the government-funded rebate checks given out in the program.

The suit said that on Aug. 14, Penske Automotive Group&apos;s Westbury Toyota Ltd. of Westbury, N.Y., estimated the 2000 Chevrolet Astro van that Philip Allegretti of Seaford, N.Y., was trading in for a 2009 Toyota Tacoma pickup had a scrappage value of $125. 

By law, the dealership was allowed to keep $50 of that for administrative costs. But, the lawsuit alleges, the dealership kept the entire $125.

Debbie Dingell, the wife of veteran lawmaker Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich., has been tapped to lead the newly-formed American Automotive Policy Council.



Dingell will chair the group&apos;s Manufacturing Initiative, whose goal is to Ã¢??develop credible and reliable information for policymakers,Ã¢?? according to an AAPC statement.

Stephen Collins will serve as the AAPC&apos;s president. He said the Detroit 3 share characteristics that both unify the companies and distinguish them from foreign-based competitors -- namely a UAW-represented workforce and legacy costs like retiree health care.

By coming together, the Detroit 3 can make a more powerful statement than alone, Collins said.

Fisker Automotive Inc. investor Ray Lane says he knows the auto industry bears little resemblance to the Internet and software businesses that have made him and his fellow venture capitalists successful. 



Yet Lane is heading his Silicon Valley company&apos;s investment in Fisker, the electric-vehicle startup expected to announce tomorrow it will take over a closed General Motors plant in Wilmington, Del. Fisker, which has received the promise of $529 million in U.S. loans, will launch its $87,000 Karma plug-in hybrid sedan next year and plans a $40,000 mid-sized sedan for 2012.

Car Concerns Radio is broadcast Monday-Friday 9:00 to 11:00 A.M. EST &amp; Nationally Syndicated across the USA.

October U.S. auto sales should be down about 6 percent from a year ago, marking the first single-digit monthly decline since May 2008, industry forecasting firm J.D. Power and Associates predicted today. 

J.D. Power forecast October sales at 10.3 million units on an annualized basis, compared with 10.5 million units a year earlier.

Lead-generator Autobytel Inc., which hasn&apos;t posted a profit since 2004, narrowed its third-quarter net loss by 86 percent but still posted its biggest deficit of the year. 

Autobytel posted a $799,000 third-quarter loss yesterday, down from the $5.6 million loss it sustained last year, but worse than its total first-half shortfall of $608,000.

The White House auto task force, &quot;shocked&quot; by the depth of the financial problems at General Motors and Chrysler, very nearly let Chrysler go under before President Barack Obama decided the economy couldn&apos;t afford to lose another 300,000 jobs. 

In a Detroit News interview and a first-person account published today in Fortune magazine, Obama&apos;s former top auto adviser, Steven Rattner, details his five months overseeing the automakers&apos; bankruptcies and the decision to extend them a $62 billion federal bailout. 

Rattner paints a picture of &quot;stunningly poor management&quot; at both companies, saying in his Fortune piece that they were &quot;in a state of denial.&quot; 
&quot;We were shocked, even beyond our low expectations, by the poor state of both GM and Chrysler,&quot; he wrote. 

Steven Rattners book is on sale now!

            <description>Plenty of info comes into Car Concerns Central. Is this Truth or Fiction? Deciede for yourself here:

I just received this from one of our American Motorist Vote Campaigner&apos;s that attended the hearing:

The expedited trial has been set for Jan. 26, 2010, just 4 1/2 months from 
now!

I and many other concerned veterans and citizens attended the hering today 
in Federal Court in Santa Ana in the lawsuit against Barack Obama to 
determine his eligibility to be President and Commander in Chief. About 150 
people showed up, almost all in support of the lawsuit to demand that Obama 
release his birth certificate and other records that he has hidden from the 
American people.

Judge David Carter refused to hear Obama&apos;s request for dismissal today, 
instead setting a hearing date for Oct. 5, since Obama&apos;s attorneys had just 
filed the motion on Friday. He indicated there was almost no chance that 
this case would be dismissed. Obama is arguing this lawsuit was filed in the 
wrong court if you can believe that. I guess Obama would prefer a &quot;kangaroo 
court&quot; instead of a Federal court! Assuming Judge Carter denies Obama&apos;s 
motion for dismissal, he will likely then order expedited discovery which 
will force Obama to release his birth certificate in a timely manner (if he 
has one).

The judge, who is a former U.S. Marine, repeated several times that this is 
a very serious case which must be resolved quickly so that the troops know 
that their Commander in Chief is eligible to hold that position and issue 
lawful orders to o ur military in this time of war. He basically said Obama 
must prove his eligibility to the court! He said Americans deserve to know 
the truth about their President!

The two U.S. Attorneys representing Barack Obama tried everything they could to sway the judge that this case was frivolous, but Carter would have none of it and cut them off several times. Obama&apos;s attorneys left the courtroom after about the 90 minute hearing looking defeated and nervous.
Great day in America for the U.S. Constitution!!! 

The truth about Barack 
Obama&apos;s eligibility will be known fairly soon - Judge Carter practically 
guaranteed it!

It&apos;s no wonder that anything we do to fix the economy doesn&apos;t work! Doubt Is Swirling In Our Wind! Doubt!

Thousands of Auto Consumers are walking away from the Auto Lease Obligations. Here are the reasons:

--Because of the recession and slow rebound, small businesses are left with lots of unused company car leases after staff cutbacks.
--Since the majority of these are leased cars, the owner can&apos;t sell to someone else or hand the keys back to the bank without destroying credit.
--To escape the financial pinch they&apos;re escaping the contract by finding someone else to take over the remaining portion of the contract.
--The small business owner then walks away from the contract with no harm done to credit and costing minimal fees.

Car Concerns Consulting works with the most popular Auto Off-Lease Marketplace for Auto Lease Transfers.

Car Concerns Consulting reports an increase of 28 percent in the last six months for small business customers using the car lease transfer service to shed company car leases left unused due to small business downsizing and staff reductions.

The recession and slow recovery has left millions of Americans unemployed, many from small businesses forced to cut budgets, downsize staff and slash operating costs to survive. But owners of small outfits that lease company cars for tax purposes are left in a precarious position when car leases are stuck in park while the bank still requires monthly payments. 

More owners are using Car Concerns Lease Transfer as a way to ditch the lease and remove the financial obligation from the books.

Car Concerns Consulting is fast becoming the nation&apos;s leading source on vehicle lease transfers. Car Concerns Consulting facilitates automobile lease transfers and easily and affordably matches car shoppers with current drivers wanting out of their leased vehicle.

Harry Has A LIstings of Thousands of Vehicles That Are Now On The Market. You Aquire The Remainder of the Lease at a Fraction of the Original Price! Absolute Steals!

Car Concerns Consulting &quot;Your Business&quot; program that allows owners to list a company car lease for just $69. Car Concerns Consulting has a waiting list of people looking to take over these leases since it represents a cost-conscious way to shop for a vehicle. When the two parties are ready to make the transfer, a brokerage fee of $199 is collected. The small business owner simply hands over the keys and walks away from the contract with no harm to the credit status.

            <description>Automobiles and Politics go together like Bacon and Eggs. Harry brings them both together on this Friday Morning: www.carconcerns.com

Senior Vice President for AutoNation, Marc Cannon and Tennesssee State Representative Stacey Campfield discuss the issues of the day with Harry.

As all memberers of the American Motorist Vote Campaign very well know that what happens on the House Floor in our State Capitols and Washington DC directly affect the retail automotive consumer both in the Purchasing Process and On-The-Road.

Example: General Motors Co. CEO Fritz Henderson&apos;s annual salary is being cut by 25 percent to $950,000 as part of the Obama administration&apos;s pay reductions for the top 175 executives at seven companies that got federal bailouts.

The identities of the top earners at each company were not disclosed in a U.S. Treasury report today. Only the highest salaries were listed. Henderson was identified by a source with knowledge of the matter as the most highly paid GM executive.

Before today&apos;s changes, Henderson was to make $1.3 million in annual salary.

Eample: Detroit&apos;s Big Three automakers Wednesday reiterated support for a federal regulation setting vehicle fuel efficiency standards, and urged the government to pursue a long-term strategy. 

The automakers spoke at a public hearing held by officials from the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Transportation, who are getting feedback on proposed fuel economy benchmarks and national greenhouse gas emissions limits for passenger vehicles. 

In the 10:00 A.M. EST Hour Harry has found the Superior GPS Product for your Vehicle. Clark Swanson, President of Blackline GPS makes the call into Car Concerns Radio.

Clark has some really cool use cases where people have actually had their cars stolen, tracked and recovered them. It&apos;s a new technological space in the automotive aftermarket that could make for some great coverage.

It&apos;s a Tall Order on Energy Front: Over the next few decades, the world will need to wean itself from dependence on fossil fuels and drastically reduce greenhouse gases. Current technology will take us only so far; major breakthroughs are required.

Electrifying vehicles could slash petroleum use and help clean the air (if electric power shifts to low-carbon fuels like wind or nuclear). But it&apos;s going to take better batteries

One way to wean ourselves from oil is to come up with renewable sources of transportation fuel. That means a new generation of biofuels made from nonfood crops.

Researchers are devising ways to turn lumber and crop wastes, garbage and inedible perennials like switchgrass into competitively priced fuels. But the most promising next-generation biofuel comes from algae.

Don&apos;t Wait For Technology to happen! Harry has it now and at an affordable Price. Reduced Emissions...20% Increased Miles Per Gallon. Now...Today: www.gogreenwithharry.com

            <description>Car Concerns Consulting Has Joined Up With A Grade A Automobile Insurance Company To Offer All Car Concerns Listeners and Members of the American Motorist Vote Campaign a very Attractive Auto Insurance Policy That won&apos;t break your Bank. Harry Calls It Auto Insurance Reform. Get more Info @ harry@carconcerns.com

Larry Bradely, Founder &amp; Publisher: www.thecenterstrikesback.com is Harry&apos;s Co-Host this Morning on Car Concerns Radio. Live Internet Streaming @ www.carconcerns.com

Automakers around the globe are reeling from the recession and the resulting downturn in automobile sales, which is projected to last well into next year. Consequently, most are rethinking their product offerings to meet the public&apos;s perceived desire for more affordable, fuel-efficient transportation. While traditional thought would tell us that the next generation of new car buyers is in for a parade of easy-to-sell vehicles with no pulse to speak of, we&apos;ve found more than a few 2010 model year cars, trucks and SUVs that&apos;ll get your heart pounding.

Chrysler Group&apos;s new marketing chief is said to puff away in nonsmoking offices. He&apos;s not much for political correctness. And when it comes to advertising he likes to take risks -- plenty of them. 



Olivier Francois, the Fiat executive tapped this month to lead all Chrysler Group&apos;s marketing, advertising, brand development and strategies as well as to be CEO of the Chrysler vehicle brand, wouldn&apos;t agree to an interview. But those who know him at Fiat say he&apos;s a rule-breaker with an appetite for ads that generate controversy.

A year before it launches U.S. sales of its first electric family car, Nissan Motor Co. is developing a next-generation battery that will be lighter and less expensive.



Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn said today that the new electric-vehicle battery is a few years off but will be smaller, lighter and less expensive than the lithium ion battery that will power the five-passenger Nissan Leaf when the car debuts late next year.

The Leaf battery will deliver about 100 miles on a complete charge.

In The www.HealthyDriver.com Segment:

In a laboratory beneath Ford Motor Co.&apos;s Product Development Center, a team of scientists and technicians is using driving simulators to study how motorists interact with new, onboard technology and ensure that systems like Sync do not become too distracting. 

The ubiquity of cellular telephones and the proliferation of in-car technologies such as navigation systems and voice-activated music players mean today&apos;s car trip involves a lot more than just getting from Point A to Point B. But all of this technology has made driver distraction a concern. 

Ford has created the Human Machine Interface Verification Laboratory -- informally known as the &quot;Distraction Lab&quot; -- to make sure new features make driving safer, not less safe. 


&quot;This is where we make the determination about what can or can&apos;t go into a product,&quot; said Jeff Greenberg, senior technical leader of vehicle design research and advanced engineering at Ford. 

An association representing the biggest foreign automakers wants California to drop its &quot;cool cars&quot; proposal to require vehicles sold there, starting in the 2012 model year, to limit solar energy entering vehicles. 

If California persists, the automakers say, they&apos;d have to build vehicles just for Golden State buyers. 

The &quot;cool car&quot; regulation takes effect in 2012 and requires new vehicles weighing 10,000 pounds or less to prevent 45 percent of the energy from the sun from entering a vehicle by 2014, and 60 percent by 2016. The idea is to reduce the use of air conditioning, which burns more gasoline and contributes to greenhouse gas emissions.

In a letter released Monday, the Association of Automobile Manufacturers, the trade association whose members include Toyota Motor Corp., Honda Motor Co., Nissan Motor Corp., Hyundai Motor Corp. and other foreign automakers, asked the California Air Resources Board to reconsider its plans. 

Oil prices briefly rose above $80 a barrel Tuesday as better-than-expected U.S. corporate earnings boosted investor confidence and the dollar fell against other major currencies.

By midday in Europe, benchmark crude for November delivery was down 20 cents at $79.41 in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Earlier in the session, it rose as high as $80.05 a barrel before falling back. The contract rose $1.08 to settle at $79.61 on Monday.

Crude did a chin-up over $80 a barrel for the first time this year after Apple Inc. and Texas Instruments Inc. reported third quarter earnings Monday that beat analyst forecasts. Caterpillar Inc., Coca-Cola Co. and DuPont are scheduled to report later Tuesday.

Crude demand has remained sluggish this year as the global economy recovers from recession.

John Gliha talks on an important subject and the title of his book, &quot;Blowing The Whistle On Credit Card Debt&quot; We all use the credit card when purchasing a new or used car for say a Down Payment or even on Auto Servicing Issues.

John says That this Sea-Of-Debt is choking the life out of the American Economy. The one trillion dollars of Credit Card Debt in the USA is the Cocked-Smoking Gun!

In the 10:00 A.M. (EST) hour it is World-Famous Forbes Automotive Journalist Jerry Flint. Always reveting comments from The Automotive Authority.

Harry will pick Harry&apos;s brain about some of today&apos;s Automotive Topics that concerns the retail automotive consumers. Read Jerry&apos;s &quot;BACKSEAT DRIVER&quot; column @ www.forbes.com/flint

A NEW Corsa-red Ferrari California convertible, its top down, pulled to a stop under the immense porte-coch`re at the St. Regis Monarch Beach resort. An eager valet sprinted over to offer assistance. This was exactly the type of car he would park by the main entrance &quot;not in the garage&quot; to be flaunted like a trophy, a sign of the stature and allure of the ocean-view resort.

The California is aptly named; it is a perfect pace car for the Land of the Endless Summer. Here, idling in front of an opulent resort in Orange County, the car was a portrait of grand touring panache except the scene it inhabited this day was rather surrealistic. 

Driver&apos;s in the Ferrari weren&apos;t checking in, they were stopping to see if the sprawling resort at the only California hotel to get five stars from Mobil, was still open. It was, but the place, which sprawls over the hills above Monarch Bay, was practically empty. 

For good reason: the faux-Tuscan village of alabaster and terra cotta had just been seized by creditors. We were visiting on the day Citigroup found itself in possession of a fancy ocean-view hotel, and it seemed nobody had tipped off the poor, earnest parking valet.

The Monarch Beach had already drawn notice as the site of an infamous September 2008 retreat for a subsidiary of the American International Group, the insurance giant. Just days after taxpayers tossed A.I.G. an $85 billion lifeline, sales agents for AIG General racked up a $442,000 tab here, including $150,000 for food and $23,000 at the spa.

The California is the company&apos;s least expensive model by far. With a base price of less than $200,000 (as tested, $216,553), it is a relative bargain by Ferrari standards. Its standard features include a 453-horsepower V-8 engine (a detuned version of the F430&apos;s power plant), a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, ceramic brakes and racing-inspired traction and launch controls that enable 3.5-second runs from a stop to 60 miles an hour.

And then there is this basic question from the skeptics: Who wants to drive a Ferrari with an automatic transmission and a V-8 engine mounted in the front?

Harry say&apos;s, &quot;That would take the Fun &amp; Thrill out of driving this Machine Marvel.&quot;

It&apos;s hard to believe Ferrari has never before made a car with a front-mounted V-8; indeed, in its earliest conceptual form, this car was destined to be a Maserati.

Profitability usually trumps most other considerations in today&apos;s auto industry. And whoÃ¢??s to say what the sustainable balance is between volume and exclusivity? Or for that matter, where&apos;s the line between the tasteful and the vulgar? In today&apos;s recessionary times, can luxury co-exist with lowered expectations? Just ask the valet at Monarch Beach.



Need Auto Insurance That Won&apos;t Break Your Bank But Provides Top-Notch Coverage? Harry has the solution for all uninsured motorist.

Through the Power of the American Motorist Vote Campaign Harry has negotiated a Deal with one of America&apos;s Premier Auto Insurance Companies to offer all American Motorist Vote Campaign members the lowest rates on the Planet.

            <description>Harry Is Off-The Wall Today on Car Concerns. www.carconcerns.com

Hundreds of Chrysler Group LLC dealers are at risk of closure within a month, caught in a dispute between their former finance company and their new lender. 

Imperiled dealers are those with mortgages and capital loans with former captive finance company Chrysler Financial but who need a line of credit from new lender GMAC Financial Services to buy vehicle stock with a wholesale or &quot;floor plan&quot; loan. They have temporary financing but face a mid-November deadline to secure permanent financing to stay in business. 

Central to the spat is who has first dibs on assets if a dealer goes under and two finance companies hold debt. Caught in this dilemma are Chrysler dealers who don&apos;t have enough equity in their business to pay off the old loans to Chrysler Financial to alleviate any obstacles to securing new loans from GMAC or another, independent source. Without new GMAC money to buy vehicles a dealer has little choice but to liquidate.

About half the 1,500 Chrysler dealers seeking GMAC financing have been approved, but the expected loss of hundreds of dealers could prove devastating to an automaker that cannot afford to lose further sales outlets as it scrambles to restructure and pay back about $15 billion in government loans that helped it exit bankruptcy and form a new company in partnership with Fiat SpA. Chrysler is to unveil a five-year business and product plan Nov. 4 under new Chief Executive Sergio Marchionne.

Declining costs for labor and auto parts will allow automakers to make money at lower U.S. sales volumes next year, a J.D. Power and Associates analyst said.



The industrywide breakeven point will be 11 million next year, down from 13 million in 2009, said Rich Sands, the market research firmâ??s executive director of automotive operations.

The seasonally adjusted annual sales rate has averaged 10.2 million this year, meaning the average domestic and international automaker wonâ??t make a profit at current U.S. sales volumes. But if demand follows J.D. Powerâ??s forecast for 11.5 million units sold in 2010, automakers will make profits, Sands said.

â??If you can hold that cost line somewhere at 11 million [units] or below -- and the smart guys are putting it down at 10 million -- anything north of 10 million [units] is profit,â?? Sands said. â??The question is, how long can you hold your cost line down there? And the longer you do, the more profit youâ??ll make.â??
 


Sorry, no paycheck for you. That&apos;s the unprecedented demand put on Bank of America (BAC) CEO Ken Lewis by the Treasury&apos;s pay czar Kenneth Feinberg. According to The Wall Street Journal, the BoA chief has been asked to give back the roughly $1 million he&apos;s collected so far this year and forgo another $1.5 million still due to him. Oh, and no 2009 bonus either. But don&apos;t feel too bad for Lewis. &quot;Mr. Feinberg pushed for the deal because he thought the package of retirement benefits and unvested stock Mr. Lewis takes with him when he steps down at year&apos;s end currently worth at least $69.3 million, according to securities filingsnwas large enough, and possibly too big,&quot; the newspaper writes. While Lewis &quot;voluntarily agreed&quot; to the arrangement without much fuss.

We will discuss that in the first hour of Car Concerns as Harry Shifts into High-Gear...Fasten Seat Belts!

Join Harry on Car Concerns Radio in the morning at 9:00 A.M. (EST). For the last few years now I have been talking about the taxation that is being inflicted on the American Motorist at a rapid rate each and every day &amp; night. A total invasion of your privacy.

Of course I&apos;m talking about the Red Light Camera&apos;s and Radar Cams that get you coming and going. It has not decreased the rate of auto accidents, it actually has increased the number of accidents at these intersections.

Yep! Their getting your Cash-In-A-Flash!

Finally the American Motorist is getting FIGHTING MAD about it &amp; ready to be Hog-Tied!www.americanmotoristvote.com

On the Show in the morning, Knoxville Tennessee State Representative Stacey Campfield. Also Automotive Activist, Ron Brown and Tona Monroe Ball join in with info-that-you-have-to-know.

General Motors Co. said today it will invest more than $230 million in four plants around Flint, Mich., to help build the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze compact and the Chevrolet Volt plug-in hybrid sedan.

The move will restore about 500 jobs, GM said in a statement.

The four GM plants that will be updated and retooled include Flint Engine South, Flint Metal Center, Flint Tool and Die and Grand Blanc Weld Tool Center.

Question? Why is General Motors spending (wasting) Bail-Out Money to booster these auto assembly plants in Michigan when it has an Ultra Modern Assembly Plant that can produce the Cruze in fine Fashion at the Spring Hill Assemblt Plant that today sits unused simply because of Politics.

Help Me Here...General Motors...Put The Ultra-Modern Assembly Plant back to work. Its the Best Plant You Have. It sits Empty Because You&apos;re Mad! Get Over It!

Ford Motor Co. is gaining on Honda Motor Co. for the No. 2 spot among hybrid vehicle sellers in the United States. 

Toyota Motor Corp. leads all automakers in U.S. hybrid sales by a wide margin, selling more than all of its rivals combined.

Paced by the Ford Fusion and Escape hybrids, Ford sold 26,016 hybrid vehicles during the first nine months of 2009 -- a 73 percent gain in hybrid vehicle sales compared with the same period a year ago, according to figures compiled by the Automotive News Data Center. 

Honda, led by the Insight and Civic hybrids, held the No. 2 spot. It sold 29,958 hybrids during the nine-month period, a gain of 8 percent from the year-earlier period. 

Toyota continues to sell the vast majority of U.S. hybrids, with a total of 144,351 over the nine months. But with Prius sales down 20 percent, Toyota&apos;s total U.S. hybrid sales fell 28 percent in the first nine months.

A former Ford Motor Co. engineer has been charged with stealing trade secrets from the automaker after accepting a job in China in 2006.

Xiang Dong Yu, 47, was arrested yesterday at O&apos;Hare International Airport in Chicago after traveling to the United States from China. A federal indictment charges Yu, a Chinese national living in Beijing, with theft of trade secrets, attempted theft of trade secrets and unauthorized access to a protected computer, Terrence Berg, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan, said today in a statement.

Yu was a Ford product engineer from 1997 to 2007. In December 2006, he accepted a job at the China branch of a U.S. company, according to a Justice Department release announcing the charges.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood came away encouraged by the energy and enthusiasm he found when he visited Detroit&apos;s automakers this week. 

LaHood met with executives from all three automakers, including new Chrysler Group LLC CEO Sergio Marchionne, whom he likened to the legendary Lee Iacocca, a former Chrysler chairman.

As quoted by CNN, Newsweek, MSNBC, Redbook, Self, Woman&apos;s Day, Glamour, &amp; Arthritis Today.

Rep. Barney Frank&apos;s legislation to create a consumer financial-protection agency doesn&apos;t go nearly far enough to exempt auto dealers from new regulation, the National Automobile Dealers Association said today.

Frank, D-Mass., chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, said last month that he would modify an Obama administration plan to create the agency.

He listed businesses that would not be subject to regulation under his draft bill and included auto dealers along with accountants, real estate brokers, lawyers and others.

But in a letter today to Frank, NADA said his draft bill excludes only car brokers, the people who buy vehicles on behalf of customers.

While there also is an exception for merchants, which could potentially include dealers, any transactions involving financing would not be exempt under the legislation, the NADA letter said.

The letter said 94 percent of all new-vehicle purchases involve financing.

&quot;In light of the current credit crisis and the lowest auto sales in a generation, a dramatic restructuring of the laws governing auto finance would create uncertainties, unintended consequences and increase consumer costs that could further depress sales,&quot; NADA Vice President wrote.

The Financial Services Committee is scheduled to consider Frank&apos;s bill next Wednesday.

The restructuring of the U.S. auto industry should include a new standard for inventory levels, the CEO of the top U.S. dealership group said today. AutoNation Inc. CEO Mike Jackson said he thinks automakers should maintain a 30-day supply of inventory, half of the 60 days worth recommended by analysts.

General Motors Co. has named Susan Docherty its new vice president of U.S. sales, replacing Mark LaNeve, according to CEO Fritz Henderson.

Ford Motor Co. will spend up to 20 percent more on Ford-brand U.S. marketing in the fourth quarter as it launches the next phase of its Drive One campaign. The newest Drive One ads will begin airing Monday, Oct. 12. They are 15-second spots starring real-world owners talking about features they love about their cars.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on Tuesday said it is conducting a preliminary investigation into frame corrosion on 2000 and 2001 model year Toyota Tundra pickups. An estimated 218,000 units are involved.

Word of the probe comes a week after Toyota announced its largest U.S. recall in company history.

Chrysler Group&apos;s second meeting with dealer groups last Friday ended with the two sides at an impasse over fundamental questions of reinstatement for rejected dealerships, participants said.

In contrast, General Motors Co.&apos;s meeting Friday was described as more amicable, with the two sides finding some common ground.

Toyota Motor Sales USA and its ad agency of record, Saatchi &amp; Saatchi Los Angeles, engaged in a bizarre, online &quot;terror marketing campaign&quot; that frightened and harassed thousands of consumers via e-mails, according to a lawsuit filed Sept. 28 in Los Angeles.

The suit claims the online effort, dreamed up by Saatchi to create buzz for the youth-targeted Toyota Matrix, involved a series of e-mails last year to plaintiff Amber Duick from the fictitious Brit Sebastian Bowler, who had moved to the U.S. 

A Toyota spokesman said the automaker doesn&apos;t comment on pending litigation. Kurt Ritter, chairman of Saatchi&apos;s west coast operations, did not return an e-mail or phone call for comment.

            <description>SDR&apos;s are soon to replace U.S. Dollars. Gold &amp; Silver folks. The Government is starting to Tax it&apos;s way out of this recession. Toxic Assets creat Toxic Funds. www.carconcerns.com

Harry&apos;s first Guest on this Wednesday morning may take the Pain out of the Drive into work...Literally!

Dr. Burton Schular is one of the nations leading Experts on a common medically proven foot problem known as the Morton&apos;s Toe and he reveals overlooked medical condition that can be the real cause of pain from your head-To-Your-Toe. Fix it for under $5.

Three Free Fixes for Health Care Costs

In deciding to engage full-time by going on the Road to push a radical and expensive &quot;public option&quot; to American taxpayers, President Obama is clearly worried over the direction of the health care debate. Republicans in Congress should be applauded for standing firm over the need to deliberate, discuss and debate over such a personal and economically impacting issue such as health care especially their vigilance against any plan that could lead to a government-run health care.

1. Give the same tax break to individuals that employers receive 

Under the current system, people with employer-paid benefits don&apos;t have to pay taxes on those benefits. But self-insured people (many of them self-employed which is one of the few growing sectors of the economy) receive no such tax break. Making the system fair for everyone also puts money back in the pockets of taxpayers, lowering their health insurance costs.

2. Make it easy to file insurance claims with a standardized form 

This is a simple solution to one of the most frustrating problems in the health care system - too much paperwork. Requiring all insurance companies to accept a single, standardized claim form would reduce the workload on both patients and doctors. Less paperwork means less wasted time - and lower costs for everyone.

3. Require providers to post prices and outcomes 

When we go to a store to buy milk and bread, we can easily see which brands cost more and which cost less. It should be the same way with health care. Requiring doctors and hospitals to post their prices and their results would allow patients to shop around for the best use of their health care dollars.

None of these three reforms would cost taxpayers a dime, and none of them would interfere with the doctor-patient relationship or lead to government-run health care. And all three of these simple reforms have overwhelming support from 87% of American voters. Yet the President and his allies in Congress continue to march down the path toward a radical, massive and extremely expensive government intervention in health care, where patients will pay more, and their choices will be governed by bureaucrats. 

By advocating these three reforms, Republicans and free market health care advocates will offer real health reforms that will benefit patients through lower costs, better care, competition and preserving patient choice without raising taxes to pay for trillion dollar government run health care schemes that lead to higher costs and put bureaucrats in charge of health care decisions.</description>

Harry&apos;s first Guest on this Wednesday morning may take the Pain out of the Drive into work...Literally!

Dr. Burton Schular is one of the nations leading Experts on a common medically proven foot problem known as the Morton&apos;s Toe and he reveals overlooked medical condition that can be the real cause of pain from your head-To-Your-Toe. Fix it for under $5.

Three Free Fixes for Health Care Costs

In deciding to engage full-time by going on the Road to push a radical and expensive &quot;public option&quot; to American taxpayers, President Obama is clearly worried over the direction of the health care debate. Republicans in Congress should be applauded for standing firm over the need to deliberate, discuss and debate over such a personal and economically impacting issue such as health care especially their vigilance against any plan that could lead to a government-run health care.

1. Give the same tax break to individuals that employers receive 

Under the current system, people with employer-paid benefits don&apos;t have to pay taxes on those benefits. But self-insured people (many of them self-employed which is one of the few growing sectors of the economy) receive no such tax break. Making the system fair for everyone also puts money back in the pockets of taxpayers, lowering their health insurance costs.

2. Make it easy to file insurance claims with a standardized form 

This is a simple solution to one of the most frustrating problems in the health care system - too much paperwork. Requiring all insurance companies to accept a single, standardized claim form would reduce the workload on both patients and doctors.

            <description>Let&apos;s Talk HealthyDriver.com Here!

Well, I have done it! I have read most of the entire text of proposed House Bill
3200: The Affordable Health Care Choices Act of 2009. I studied it with
particular emphasis from my area of expertise, consulting. I was
frankly concerned that parts of the proposed law that were being discussed might be unconstitutional. What I found was far worse than what I had heard or
expected.

To begin with, much of what has been said about the bill and its implications is in fact true, despite what the Democrats and the media are saying.

The bill does provide for rationing of health care, particularly where senior
citizens and other classes of citizens are involved, free health care for
illegal immigrants, free abortion services, and probably forced participation
in abortions by members of the medical profession.


The bill will also eventually force private insurance companies out of
business and put everyone into a government-run system. All decisions about personal health care will ultimately be made by federal bureaucrats, and most of them will not be health care professionals. 

Hospital admissions, payments to physicians, and allocations of necessary medical devices will be strictly controlled.


However, as scary as all of that is, it just scratches the surface. In fact, I have concluded that this legislation really has no intention of providing affordable health care choices. Instead, it is a convenient cover for the most massive transfer of power to the Executive Branch of government that has ever occurred, or even been contemplated in our Nation&apos;s history. If this law or a similar one
is adopted, major portions of the Constitution of the United States will
effectively have been destroyed.


The first thing to go will be the masterfully crafted balance of power
between the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of the U.S.
Government. The Congress will be transferring to the Obama Administration authority in a number of different areas over the lives of the American people and the businesses they own. The irony is that the Congress doesn&apos;t have any
authority to legislate in most of those areas to begin with. I defy anyone to
read the text of the U.S. Constitution and find any authority granted to the
members of Congress to regulate health care.


This legislation also provides for access by the appointees of the Obama
administration of all of your personal health care information, your personal
financial information, and the information of your employer, physician, and
hospital. All of this is a direct violation of the specific provisions of the 4th Amendment to the Constitution protecting against unreasonable
searches and seizures. 

You can also forget about the right to privacy. That will have been legislated into oblivion regardless of what the 3rd and 4th
Amendments may provide.


If you decide not to have health care insurance or if you have private
insurance that is not deemed &quot;acceptable&quot; to the &quot;Health Choices Administrator&quot;
appointed by Obama, there will be a tax imposed on you. 

It is called a &quot;tax&quot; instead of a fine because of the intent to avoid application of the due process clause of the 5th Amendment. However, that doesn&apos;t work because since there is nothing in the law that allows you to contest or appeal the
imposition of the tax, it is definitely depriving someone of property without due
process of law.


So, there are three of those pesky amendments that the far left hate so
much out the original ten in the Bill of Rights that are effectively nullified
by this law. 

It doesn&apos;t stop there, though. The 9th Amendment provides,
&quot;The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed
to deny or disparage others retained by the people.&quot; The 10th Amendment
states, &quot;The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution,
nor prohibited by it to the States, are preserved to the States respectively,
or to the people.&quot; Under the provisions of this proposed bill, neither the
people nor the states are going to have any rights or powers at all in many
areas that once were theirs to control.


I could write so much more about this legislation, but I think you get
the idea. This is not about health care; it is about seizing power and
limiting rights. Article 6 of the Constitution requires the members of both
houses of Congress to &quot;be bound by oath or affirmation&quot; to support the
Constitution. If I were a member of Congress, I would not be able to vote for this legislation or anything like it without feeling I was violating that sacred
oath or affirmation. If I voted for it anyway, I would hope that all American
people would hold me accountable.

Needless to say, yes we need a Health Care Bill For All Americans, but this is nothing more than a slap-in-the-face and an out-and-out robbery of our Constitutional Rights as American Citizens.

            <description>The American Motorist Vote Campaign Rolls Onto The 2010 Mid-Term Elections! Have You Signed-On? &quot;OUR NUMBERS...OUR POWER&quot; www.americanmotoristvote.com

Harry Is On The Money On Fiday&apos;s While You Are On The Line!

The biggest automakers posted some of the sharpest U.S. sales declines in September as demand dropped to its lowest level since April in the aftermath of the cash-for-clunkers program. 

The seasonally adjusted annual sales rate was 9.51 million units. After thronging dealerships during the government incentive and sending August demand to the year&apos;s high of 13.7 million, consumers backed off in September, dropping the sales rate slightly below June&apos;s 9.55 million.

&quot;I&apos;ve been in the auto business for 39 years, and I&apos;ve never seen a roller coaster year like this,&quot; said Ken Czubay, Ford Motor Co.&apos;s vice president of U.S. marketing, sales and service.

Sales for General Motors Co. and Chrysler Group, both recovering from bankruptcy, plunged more than 40 percent, in line with analysts&apos; forecasts. American Honda tumbled 20 percent and Toyota Motor Sales was down 13 percent. Ford Motor Co. fell 5 percent after two straight months of year-over-year gains. 

Other automakers advanced. BMW Group&apos;s 4 percent rise was its first since August 2008. Porsche rose 8 percent, its second straight monthly increase. Hyundai-Kia soared 26 percent, for its third straight monthly gain. 

Subaru rose 1 percent for its fourth straight increase. Subaru, up 10 percent for the year, and Hyundai-Kia, up 3 percent, preserved their year-to-date improvements.

Industry sales fell to 746,206, down 23 percent compared with September 2008 and putting the nine-month decline at 27 percent. August had marked the first year-over-year monthly gain since October 2007 and the first month this year that sales topped 1 million units.

Chrysler Group has agreed to temporarily stop giving dealers new franchises in areas vacated by rejected dealerships, negotiators in talks between the automaker and dealer groups said today.

Chrysler&apos;s representatives made the disclosure Wednesday in the first private negotiation with dealer groups and lawmakers, five participants said. Chrysler said its halt will last for the duration of the negotiations, the participants said.

&quot;We were encouraged by that,&quot; said Alan Spitzer, an Ohio dealer who helps lead a group of rejected dealers called the Committee to Restore Dealer Rights. 

Spitzer, who was at the meeting at the U.S. Capitol, added: &quot;It was a positive sign that they are at least willing to work with us and listen to us.&quot;

The committee requested Chrysler&apos;s moratorium.

Rick Wagoner warned that people wouldn&apos;t buy cars from a bankrupt automaker.



Turns out, buying brands from a bankrupt company has its peril, too.

Roger Penske&apos;s 11th-hour decision to drop plans to buy Saturn puts the brand that was supposed to be different from the rest of GM in the same boat as Pontiac: Each now has 13 months to live.

As for auto sales, in the four months since GM&apos;s filing, consumers have given no sign that Wagoner&apos;s fears were off base. September was no exception. GM plunged 45 percent from a year earlier, for one of industry&apos;s steepest declines.

 A key congressman has asked the Obama administration, General Motors Co. and Chrysler Group to consider expanding floorplan financing.



Rep. Dan Maffei, D-N.Y., made the appeal today at the first meeting between car companies and dealer groups to consider alternatives to 2,100 closures of Chrysler and GM stores.

&quot;Everyone agreed to make it part of the discussion,&quot; Maffei told reporters during a break in the talks at the Capitol. &quot;It&apos;s important we keep our eye on that.&quot;

In May, the Obama administration created the first federal floorplan financing program for small dealers, under the U.S. Small Business Administration. But it hasn&apos;t gotten off the ground because of lenders&apos; reluctance to participate.

Brian Deese, a member of the administration&apos;s auto task force, and GM lobbyist Ken Cole, both of whom were at the meeting, declined to comment.

Maffei sponsored legislation to reverse the dealer terminations. His bill passed the House last summer but stalled in the Senate.

GM and Chrysler are going to have to move from their previous position, &quot;The legislation is still an option.&quot;

GM and Chrysler are meeting separately with dealer groups in the Capitol.

This is background on what took place last month. George Barris will be on-site driving that AMX onto the auction block at St. Charles this weekend, FYI. Tom Christmann, marketing manager, Mecum Auction tells the story to Harry.

In Indiana State Troopers are Riding with Truckers on the Interstate and Busting Drivers Who Do Not Observe The Rules-Of-The-Road.

Undercover Indiana state troopers are watching drivers from an unsuspecting seat -- one in the cab of a tractor-trailer -- in hopes of curbing wrecks involving big trucks and cars. 

Indiana State Police said 56 percent of all wrecks that involve a tractor-trailer and a passenger car or truck are caused by the driver of the car, 6News&apos; Ericka Flye reported. 

Truckers contend that cars on interstates are constantly cutting them off, riding in their blind spots and are simply careless. 

There are frequent contentious battles on highways between trucks and smaller vehicles, with the drivers of cars using their quicker maneuverability to squeeze between, in front of and immediately behind tractor-trailers. 

Undercover troopers are specifically targeting aggressive car drivers, but they will also be looking out for truckers who aren&apos;t driving safely. 

&quot;People commit violations when they know police aren&apos;t around,&quot; said ISP Sgt. Wayne Flick. 

The trooper in the tractor-trailer will radio ahead to another trooper, who will pull over the violator.

This tactic is coming to a State near you!

            <description>Monday Morning on Car Concerns Radio Harry&apos;s SPECIAL GUEST is Noah St. John, Founder of: www.successclinic.com

Noah has discovered a system for getting rid of the &quot;head trash&quot; that holds so many people back. &quot;Get Back On Track!&quot;
 
His new book, &apos;The Secret Code of Success&quot; reveals his 7-step system
for more wealth and happiness.
 
Noah St. John as been on CNN, ABC, NBC, and in The Washington Post, and he&apos;s helped thousands of people through his seminars and coaching programs. If you want to get back on your feet in these
tough times, he can help you too!

Download the first three chapters of Noah St. John&apos;s book: www.secretcodebook.com

Harry was all about the American Motorist Vote Campaign this week-end. Working tirelessly signing up American Motorist from all walks of life. Closing in on the 500,000 Member Mark that will have every member of the Congress &amp; Senate taking notice and knowing that this Campaign is accomplishing the Goals that it set out to do. Come Together &quot;Our Power...Our Numbers!&quot; www.americanmotoristvote.com

Whether you are an Obama fan, or not, EVERY American Motorist needs to
know this....Something happened... H.R. 1388 was passed yesterday, behind our backs. You may want to read about it. It wasn&apos;t mentioned on the news... just
went by on the ticker tape at the bottom of the CNN screen.

Obama funds $20M in tax payer dollars to immigrate Hamas Refugees to theUSA.

This is the news that didn&apos;t make the headlines...

By executive order, President Barack Obama has ordered the expenditure
of $20.3 million in &quot;migration assistance&quot; to the Palestinian refugees
and &quot;conflict victims&quot; in Gaza.

The &quot;presidential determination&quot;, which allows hundreds of thousands of
Palestinians with ties to Hamas to resettle in the United States, was
signed on January 27 and appeared in the Federal Register on February 4th.

Few on Capitol Hill, or in 20 the media, took note that the order provides a free ticket replete with housing and food allowances to individuals who have displayed their overwhelming support to the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the parliamentary election of January
2006.

Let&apos;s review....itemized list of some of Barack Obama&apos;s most recent
actions since his inauguration:

-His first call to any head of state, as president, was to Mahmoud
Abbas, leader of Fatah party in the Palestinian territory.

-His first one-on-one television interview with any news organization
was with Al Arabia television.

-His first executive order was to fund/facilitate abortion(s) not just
here within the U. S., but within the world, using US tax payer funds.

-He ordered Guantanamo Bay closed and all military trials of detainees 
halted.

-He ordered overseas CIA interrogation centers closed.

-He withdrew all charges against the masterminds behind the USS Cole
and the &quot;terror attack&quot; on 9/11.

Now we learn that he is allowing hundreds of thousands of Palestinianrefuges to move to, and live in, the US at American taxpayer expense.

These important, and insightful, issues are being &quot;lost&quot; in the blinding bail-outs and &quot;stimulation&quot; packages.

Doubtful?

The dealership terminations by General Motors Co. and Chrysler Group will be audited by the inspector general for the U.S. Treasury Department&apos;s financial bailout, the inspector said in congressional testimony.

The audit will take place at the same time that dealer-rights negotiations are due to get under way, involving the two automakers, dealer groups, key lawmakers and the Obama administration&apos;s auto task force.

A separate audit likely will be conducted of Treasury&apos;s ownership and management of GM since the company emerged from bankruptcy.

Neil Barofsky, special inspector general for Treasury&apos;s $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program, was appointed by President Barack Obama and confirmed by the Senate in December 2008.

In testimony delivered today before the Senate Banking Committee, Barofsky said his dealer audit &quot;will examine the process used by General Motors and Chrysler to identify which automotive dealerships should be maintained or terminated.&quot;

The dealership terminations by General Motors Co. and Chrysler Group will be audited by the inspector general for the U.S. Treasury Department&apos;s financial bailout, the inspector said in congressional testimony.

The audit will take place at the same time that dealer-rights negotiations are due to get under way, involving the two automakers, dealer groups, key lawmakers and the Obama administration&apos;s auto task force.

A separate audit likely will be conducted of Treasury&apos;s ownership and management of GM since the company emerged from bankruptcy.

Neil Barofsky, special inspector general for Treasury&apos;s $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program, was appointed by President Barack Obama and confirmed by the Senate in December 2008.

In testimony delivered today before the Senate Banking Committee, Barofsky said his dealer audit &quot;will examine the process used by General Motors and Chrysler to identify which automotive dealerships should be maintained or terminated.&quot;

Mark Tewart sent the following email to Harry! Mr. Dealer Pay Attention!

Your future customer is more of who they are today. There are
presently seventy eight million baby boomers. To define baby
boomers you are looking at people who are forty five and up.
Because of medical advances the baby boomers will live more active
lives for longer than any other group before in history. For the
first time in history four generations will be living at the same
time. Your current customer will be your future customer for a
while and they will become a better and better audience.

For the first time in history, older people aren&apos;t acting old. Many
of the vehicles that have been brought out in the last ten years
that were designed for younger people have wound up attracting
older people. Baby boomers think young and are spending tons of
money to enforce their beliefs. The baby boomers are in the highest
incomes brackets of any segment and will inherit a large amount of
money in the next ten years. To ignore them is commit suicide no
matter how different you may think your demographic is.

Because the baby boomers are moving into middle and later years,
they will value memories, family and friends to a greater degree
than they ever have before. Baby boomers will value the emotional
and impractical features that attract youth combined with the
logical and practical reasons to do business. 

As a salesperson, manager or business owner this will affect you
and how you market and sell to them tremendously. You must make
your message match your market. Where do you reach your market? If
you are spending more and more money on generic, institutional mass
media without targeting who you are looking for, you will continue
to get worse results for more money spent. You must fish where the
fish are. You must fish where they are biting and you must have the
right bait.

Consider the following: Where do baby boomers hang out? What do
baby boomers read? What do baby boomers watch? Where do baby
boomers shop? What are trends of baby boomers? What is most
important to baby boomers? How can you sell youth to an aging
crowd? What turns baby boomers off? How can you remove hassles from
the transaction(s)? How can you create a club, membership or VIP
program that they would be excited about? Who currently markets to
baby boomers effectively? How can you use the same principles? How
can you create alliances with other industries, products,
businesses or organizations to create immediate introductions,
access and trust?

Most businesses never give thought to who their customers truly
are. The average business tries to be everything to everybody.
These businesses fish in crowded fishing holes to less and less
fish with bait that looks like bait being used by all the other
fisherman. 

Baby boomers are a segment that is too large and powerful to be
ignored. There are other smaller segments that can be just as
powerful. You must ask yourself who your customers are. You must
also ask, who are your future customers and you can&apos;t wait for the
future to know the answer.

Car Concerns Radio Is Radical &amp; &quot;LIVE&quot; This Thursday Morning and Harry Is All Over It! www.carconcerns.com

Larry Bradley, Author and Publisher of TheCenterStrikesBack.com is Harry&apos;s Co-Host On Car Concerns radio this morning.

AutoNation Inc., the top U.S. auto dealership chain, is ready to go &quot;on offense&quot; by acquiring new stores and buying more vehicles as it bets that the battered U.S. auto market is headed for a long and steady recovery, the company&apos;s CEO said.

&quot;We&apos;re through the abyss. We&apos;re through the trough. There&apos;s no question in my mind,&quot; AutoNation CEO Mike Jackson said in an interview with Reuters.

Jackson forecast a gradual recovery in U.S. auto sales that would take the market back from near 10 million sales this year to more than 15 million unit sales over the next several years.

&quot;We&apos;re not afraid to buy Ford or Chevy franchises where we were in the past,&quot; Jackson said in a wide-ranging interview in his office at AutoNation&apos;s headquarters. &quot;We&apos;ve increased our orders by 50 percent for inventory. We&apos;re doing a whole range of things as we move out of a defensive posture.&quot;


Nissan North America is recalling 26,398 Altimas and Maximas from the 2009 and 2010 model years -- including some Altimas that were never meant for sale -- because of a potential safety problem with front struts.

Nissan notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the issue more than a week before the first 2010 Altima rolled off the assembly line in Canton, Miss., last Friday morning.

The recall of the barely debuted 2010 Altima is more of a marketing black eye than a real problem. The bad parts were used on fewer than a dozen 2010 Altimas, and all of them were preproduction cars built in Canton during a week of production trials back in July.

According to a NHTSA document, some metal upper strut insulators were manufactured out of specification at a plant in China for supplier Trelleborg Automotive Americas. The danger is that the insulator could crack and in extreme driving conditions allow the strut rod to come out of its housing.

Nissan told NHTSA that it plans to begin notifying dealers of the part problem on Oct. 2 and owners on Oct. 5.

The House&apos;s No. 2 Democrat said lawmakers may try to revive stalled legislation to reverse dealer terminations if General Motors Co., Chrysler Group and dealer groups don&apos;t sit down soon to begin negotiating a settlement.

Also Tuesday, Sen. Charles Grassley asked Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy to conduct hearings on legislation he introduced to reverse Chrysler&apos;s 789 dealership closures and halt GM&apos;s plans to shutter 1,350 stores. 

Together, the statements by House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and Grassley suggest that legislation that has been dormant for months could be resuscitated in response to delays in starting settlement talks

Could it be that the Automaker CEO&apos;s Along with Congress and Senate Reps are all huddling around the Internet Stream of Car Concerns each morning and listening to every word that Harry says?

The chief executive of Daimler AG is cautiously optimistic about the future of the German automaker. 

After high losses in the first half of 2009, Daimler would make a profit during the second half of this year, CEO Dieter Zetsche told German radio Deutschlandfunk on Sunday. 

Zetsche also said that Daimler wants to save euro4 billion this year. He rejected speculation about job cuts at the Stuttgart-based company, whose brands include Mercedes-Benz, Smart, Maybach and AMG. 

 &quot;Assuming that we are experiencing the beginning of a slow but steady recovery of the global economy and therefore also of the automobile markets, we do not have any plans for job cuts,&quot; Zetsche said, adding that the company was also not planning to move production plants away from Germany. 

Asked whether Daimler was interested in a closer cooperation with automaker BMW, he said that &quot;we are competitors on the market and we are fighting for every customer. But we both understand that it makes sense to work together in some fields.&quot; 

He did not specify in which fields a future cooperation of BMW and Daimler would make sense.

The House&apos;s No. 2 Democrat said lawmakers may try to revive stalled legislation to reverse dealer terminations if General Motors Co., Chrysler Group and dealer groups don&apos;t sit down soon to begin negotiating a settlement.

Also today, Sen. Charles Grassley asked Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy to conduct hearings on legislation he introduced to reverse Chrysler&apos;s 789 dealership closures and halt GM&apos;s plans to shutter 1,350 stores. 

Together, the statements by House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and Grassley suggest that legislation that has been dormant for months could be resuscitated in response to delays in starting settlement talks.

The discussions were intended by lawmakers as an alternative to the measure, which passed the House but went nowhere in the Senate after the Obama administration said it raised constitutional issues.

Hoyer, D-Md., told reporters that he and other lawmakers were &quot;working very hard on getting to a point where we can sit down to see whether or not there is a possibility of reaching accommodation between the parties.&quot;

He added: &quot;And failing that, we will continue to look at the status of the legislation which we passed here through the House.&quot;

From Car Concerns Radio Listener Mr. Letterman:

I bought a new Ford Truck &amp; returned to the dealer yesterday because I couldn&apos;t get the radio to work... 
The salesman explained that the radio was voice activated. 
&apos;Nelson,&apos; the salesman said to the radio.
 
The radio replied, &apos;Ricky or Willie?&apos;
 
&apos;Willie!&apos; he continued and 
&apos;On The Road Again&apos; came from the speakers.
 
Then he said, &apos;Ray Charles!&apos;, and in an instant 
&apos;Georgia On My Mind&apos; replaced Willie Nelson.
 
I drove away happy, and for the next few days, 
every time I&apos;d say, &apos;Beethoven,&apos; 
I&apos;d get beautiful classical music, and if I said,
&apos;Beatles,&apos; I&apos;d get one of their awesome songs.
 
Yesterday, some guy ran a red light &amp; nearly creamed my new truck, but I swerved in time to avoid them.

I yelled, &apos;Ass Hole!&apos;
Immediately the radio responded with, 
&quot;Ladies and gentlemen, the president of the United States &quot;
 
Damn I love this truck....

The following was sent to Harry frrom a loyal Car Concerns listener:

The natives are restless. The third shot of the &quot;Second American Revolution&quot; has been fired. History is being made. But just as with the first two shots, the third shot is not being heard.
America is seething. Not since the Civil War has anything like this happened. But the protests are either being intentionally downplayed or ignorantly misinterpreted. 


The first shot was fired on April 15, 2009. Over 700 anti-tax rallies and &quot;Tea Parties&quot; erupted nationwide. Rather than acknowledge their significance, the general media either ignored or ridiculed both protests and protestors, playing on tea bagging for its sexual innuendo. 


Initially President Obama said he was unaware of the tea parties. The White House later warned they could mutate into something unhealthy.


Shot #2 was fired on the Fourth of July, when throngs of citizens across the nation gathered to again protest &quot;taxation without representation.&quot; And as before, the demonstrations were branded right-wing mischief and dismissed.


The third volley, fired in early August, was aimed point blank at Senators and House members pitching President Obama&apos;s health care reform package to constituents. In fiery town hall meetings, enraged citizens shouted down their elected representatives. It took a strong police presence and/or burly bodyguards to preserve a safe physical space between the politicians and irate townspeople. 


The White House and the media have labeled protestors conservative fringe elements, or as players in staged events organized by Republican operatives that have been egged on by Fox news and right-wing radio show hosts. 


In regard to this latest wave of outbursts, health industry interests opposed to any reform are also being blamed for inciting the public. But organized or spontaneous is not the issue. While most protestors exhibit little grasp of the complex 1000 page health care reform document (that nary a legislator has read either), their emotion is clearly real and un-staged.


Rightly or wrongly, the legislation is regarded as yet another straw on the already overloaded camel&apos;s back. A series of gigantic, unpopular government-imposed (but taxpayer-financed) bailouts, buyouts, rescue and stimulus packages have been stuffed down the gullet of Americans. With no public platform to voice their opposition, options for citizens have been limited to fruitless petitions, e-mails and phone calls to Congress&quot; all fielded by anonymous staff underlings.


Now, with Congress in recess and elected representatives less than a stone&apos;s throw away, the public is exploding. The devil is not in the details of the heath care reform, the devil is the government mandating health care. Regardless of how the plan is pitched or what is being promised, to the public the legislation is yet another instance of big government taking another piece out of their lives and making them pay for it; again telling them what they can or cannot do.


Though in its early stages, the &quot;Second American Revolution&quot; is underway. Yet, what we forecast will become the most profound political trend of the century &quot;the trend that will change the world&quot; is still invisible to the same experts, authorities and pundits who didn&apos;t see the financial crisis coming until the bottom fell out of the economy. 


Forecast: Conditions will continue to deteriorate. The global economy is terminally ill. The recession is in a brief remission, not the early stages of recovery. Cheap money, easy credit and unrestrained borrowing brought on an economic crisis that cannot be cured by monetary and fiscal policies that promote more cheap money, easy credit and unrestrained borrowing.


Nevertheless, Washington will continue to intervene, tax and exert control. Protests will escalate and riots will follow.


Fourth Shot of the &quot;Second American Revolution&quot; While there are many wild cards that could light the fuse, The Trends Research Institute forecasts that if the threat of government-forced Swine Flu vaccinations is realized, it will be the fourth shot. Tens of millions will fight for their right to remain free and unvaccinated.


Publisher&apos;s Note: The power of the Internet and new technologies is inexorably fermenting the &quot;Second American Revolution.&quot; However widespread and emotionally charged, had the tax rallies, tea parties and healthcare reform protests occurred in years past, they might have been covered by the local media, but might not have made national headline news and thus would have died stillborn. 


Now, with the ubiquitous camera-equipped cell phone, universal access to YouTube, and millions of twitters and tweets, the uprisings cannot be ignored, contained, managed, spun or edited down. The revolutionary fervor will prove contagious.

            <description>Billions of dollars in federal money has saved the American auto industry for now. Silicon Valley&apos;s venture capitalists have a different view to share.

The U.S. auto industry, they warn, can never become competitive again. It remains too wedded to a dying business model and too out of touch with the sources of innovation, they say.

Instead, they look for a new group of upstart companies to shoot to prominence and profitability, overtaking the automakers once known as the &quot;Big 3&quot; just as Google Inc. came from nowhere a decade ago to eclipse established technology companies.

&quot;I do not believe that the U.S. auto business can be competitive,&quot; said Ray Lane, a managing partner at Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield &amp; Byers. &quot;I don&apos;t see any of these new car companies based in Detroit.&quot;

Lane is backing plug-in hybrid carmaker Fisker Automotive, which is planning to launch a $39,000 model. He&apos;s also slated to be chairman at V-Vehicle Co., an auto company unveiled in June that plans to build &quot;environmentally friendly vehicles&quot; in Louisiana with backing from billionaire T. Boone Pickens. 

Detroit has lost its entrepreneurial spirit, Lane said.

&quot;For years they have been led by accountants and lawyers, not engineers and entrepreneurs,&quot; Lane said. &quot;That&apos;s OK if the industry isn&apos;t changing.&quot;

So what do Ford Motor Co., General Motors Co. and Chrysler Group need to do to regain marketplace dominance?

&quot;Start over,&quot; said Marc van den Berg, managing director of VantagePoint Venture Partners, which backs upstart electric carmaker Tesla Motors and electric-vehicle infrastructure firm Better Place.

The U.S. auto industry has been hit hard by high fixed costs from health care obligations and 27-year sales lows in the past year. After demand did not reach 10 million units in the first half of the year, the cash-for-clunkers program brought July&apos;s light-vehicle sales rate to 11.1 million units and August&apos;s to 13.7 million. But 2009 sales remain down 28 percent.

GM and Chrysler have restructured in federally sponsored bankruptcies, receiving $60 billion in government funding. Even Ford, which has avoided federal emergency aid and bankruptcy, is counting on government support in the form of nearly $6 billion in low-cost U.S. loans to develop fuel-efficient vehicles.

But the only way the Detroit 3 can succeed is by completely overhauling the business model, moving beyond just designing attractive cars, Silicon Valley venture capitalists say.

&quot;There is room for business model innovation and technology innovation,&quot; said Vinod Khosla, managing general partner of Khosla Ventures.

Khosla said U.S. automakers need to embrace innovation at all levels. He pointed to Better Place, which is building charging infrastructure and battery-swapping stations for electric vehicles.

&quot;Better Place is saying, &quot;Don&apos;t let the consumer buy the batteries,&quot; Khosla said. &quot;That&apos;s a business model innovation.&quot;

&quot;There&apos;s lots of such innovation possible,&quot; he said.

The Silicon Valley financiers have high stakes in the transportation sector and are looking to herald the next wave of innovation in cars.

Khosla, co-founder of computing company Sun Microsystems, is backing a number of biofuels makers, including Coskata.

His former firm, Kleiner Perkins, a prolific fund that backed now-household names such as Google and online retailer Amazon, has set its sights on the green technology sector with bets like Fisker and fuel-cell maker Bloom Energy.

Kleiner Perkins&apos; Lane said the success of Google and Amazon stemmed more from their unique business models than their technology. 

&quot;It was nifty technology that Google had developed, but there were 10 others that had technology,&quot; he said. &quot;It was innovation in the business model that produced the value in Google.&quot;Ã?Â???Ã?Â????Ã?Â???Ã?Â????

Raj Atluru, managing director of another Silicon Valley venture capital fund, Draper Fisher Jurvetson, said big carmakers will continue to exist. But new names will herald change in the industry.

&quot;Tata Nano is going to change the entire supply chain. They are changing the economics,&quot; Atluru said. &quot;Chery has gone from a start-up automotive company to $6 billion in revenue.&quot;

Chery Automobile Co. is among the growing ranks of Chinese firms to have held talks with European or U.S. brands without making any commitments, while India&apos;s Tata Motors has made headlines with its $2,500 Nano small car.

Draper Fisher, which has brought industry-changing companies like Internet phone company Skype and e-mail firm Hotmail to the marketplace, is betting on low-cost Indian electric-car firm Reva.

Kleiner Perkins&quot; Lane said a number of changes in the auto industry, including efficiencies in power train and electrification, &quot;will set us up for the next 50 to 100 years in a totally different industry than the one that was created in the last 1OO years.&quot;

The following are some of the most often ask questions on Car Concerns Radio Email: www.carconcerns.com

How often should I wash my car?

It is recommended to wash your vehicle once a week to minimize constant damaging contaminants such as fallout such as acid rain, bird and insect droppings, tree sap etc. which damage your paint. 

I wash my car regularly but the paint does not feel smooth.

Washing your regularly will only remove the soil you can see. The rough film you can feel on the paint is a combination of oxidization and damaging contaminants bonding to your paint. 

What is oxidization?

Oxidization is when the UV rays of the sun deteriorate unprotected pain causing it to fade, becoming thin and chalky looking over time. 

How do I protect my car from damaging contaminants and oxidization?

You would have to leave your car under a cover and locked away in a garage to protect your car from damaging contaminants and oxidization. Alternatively, prevention with a regular maintenance program of washing, polishing and protecting the paint with a barrier coat of either a wax or polymer sealant is the only solution. 

What is the difference between a polish and a wax or polymer sealant? 
Polish will remove light oxidization and very fine scratches while enhancing the gloss of the paint but not leaving any protection. In order to protect the shine and finish of the paint, a polish should always be followed with either a wax, which is a natural product called Carnuba Wax, or a polymer sealant, which is a man made product usually produced from a Teflon or silicon base.

 How often should I wax my car? 
You should apply a wax or polymer sealant every 2-4 months, depending on the circumstances; this will maintain the barrier coat to repel contaminants and oxidization. 

I bought a new car and the dealer sold me a Lifetime Paint Protection. 
New car paint is virtually flawless with a brilliant shine; however it does not come with paint protection from the manufacturer, leaving your vehicle exposed to damaging contaminants and oxidization. It is important to note that all types of paint protection will eventually wear down and have to be reapplied to maintain the protective coat. Therefore, it is recommended that you read the details of your warranty agreement, which often excludes protection against oxidization. 

My car has faded (oxidized) paint. Is it too late to protect it? 
It is never too late. There is a three-step process that is used to bring your paint back to its luster and shine. First, the top layer of oxidized paint is removed with a cutting compound. Second, a polishing compound is used on the vehicle to bring out the color and shine of the paint. Finally, a coat of wax or polymer sealant is applied to protect the paint and make your car look like new again.


 


REALLY!

The No. 2 U.S. Senate Democrat urged General Motors Co. and Chrysler Group to negotiate a compromise about dealership closings with four dealer groups representing the affected stores,including the most aggressive dealer-rights advocate.

That group, the Committee to Restore Dealer Rights, has been shunned by the two automakers. It represents about 2,000 rejected GM and Chrysler dealerships.

Senate Majority Whip Richard Durbin, D-Ill., sent letters to GM CEO Fritz Henderson and Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne urging their companies &quot;to participate in a constructive dialogue with the key groups&quot; representing affected dealerships.

Ford Motor Co. is forcing London-based advertising giant WPP -- a preferred Ford supplier -- to withdraw one of its agencies from Chrysler Group&apos;s search for new creative ideas for its fourth-quarter advertising. 

WPP&apos;s Grey unit, which Advertising Age this month reported was among a group of shops Chrysler tapped as part of its fast-moving search, was set to pitch Sept. 22 at the automaker&apos;s global headquarters in Auburn Hills, Mich., executives close to the situation said. Ford&apos;s admonishment took place late last week, the executives said.

That Ford is putting its foot down and barring WPP from pitching a rival automaker&apos;s account isn&apos;t a surprise, especially when considering its history with the holding company and its comparative position to Chrysler.

Ford spent $1.9 billion in 2008 on U.S. advertising and ranks as the 11th largest national advertiser, according to AutoData. It also was alone among Detroit automakers in maneuvering through the industry&apos;s stunning downturn in 2008 and 2009 without taking a U.S. taxpayer bailout.

Alternatively, prevention with a regular maintenance program of washing, polishing and protecting the paint with a barrier coat of either a wax or polymer sealant is the only solution. 

What is the difference between a polish and a wax or polymer sealant? 
Polish will remove light oxidization and very fine scratches while enhancing the gloss of the paint but not leaving any protection. In order to protect the shine and finish of the paint, a polish should always be followed with either a wax, which is a natural product called Carnuba Wax, or a polymer sealant, which is a man made product usually produced from a Teflon or silicon base.

 How often should I wax my car? 
You should apply a wax or polymer sealant every 2-4 months, depending on the circumstances; this will maintain the barrier coat to repel contaminants and oxidization. 

I bought a new car and the dealer sold me a Lifetime Paint Protection. 
New car paint is virtually flawless with a brilliant shine; however it does not come with paint protection from the manufacturer, leaving your vehicle exposed to damaging contaminants and oxidization. It is important to note that all types of paint protection will eventually wear down and have to be reapplied to maintain the protective coat. Therefore, it is recommended that you read the details of your warranty agreement, which often excludes protection against oxidization. 

My car has faded (oxidized) paint. Is it too late to protect it? 
It is never too late. There is a three-step process that is used to bring your paint back to its luster and shine. First, the top layer of oxidized paint is removed with a cutting compound. Second, a polishing compound is used on the vehicle to bring out the color and shine of the paint. Finally, a coat of wax or polymer sealant is applied to protect the paint and make your car look like new again.


 


REALLY!

The No. 2 U.S. Senate Democrat urged General Motors Co. and Chrysler Group to negotiate a compromise about dealership closings with four dealer groups representing the affected stores,including the most aggressive dealer-rights advocate.

That group, the Committee to Restore Dealer Rights, has been shunned by the two automakers. It represents about 2,000 rejected GM and Chrysler dealerships.

Senate Majority Whip Richard Durbin, D-Ill., sent letters to GM CEO Fritz Henderson and Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne urging their companies &quot;to participate in a constructive dialogue with the key groups&quot; representing affected dealerships.

Ford Motor Co. is forcing London-based advertising giant WPP -- a preferred Ford supplier -- to withdraw one of its agencies from Chrysler Group&apos;s search for new creative ideas for its fourth-quarter advertising. 

WPP&apos;s Grey unit, which Advertising Age this month reported was among a group of shops Chrysler tapped as part of its fast-moving search, was set to pitch Sept. 22 at the automaker&apos;s global headquarters in Auburn Hills, Mich., executives close to the situation said. Ford&apos;s admonishment took place late last week, the executives said.

That Ford is putting its foot down and barring WPP from pitching a rival automaker&apos;s account isn&apos;t a surprise, especially when considering its history with the holding company and its comparative position to Chrysler.

Ford spent $1.9 billion in 2008 on U.S. advertising and ranks as the 11th largest national advertiser, according to AutoData. It also was alone among Detroit automakers in maneuvering through the industry&apos;s stunning downturn in 2008 and 2009 without taking a U.S. taxpayer bailout.

            <description>Harry is all over the Automotive Issues that affect the retail automotive consumer and the Great American Motorist: www.americanmotoristvote.com

&quot;The American Motorist deserve the respect of our Governmnet for all they contribute to the American Economy and it is my intent to see that they get exactly that!&quot; Harry Douglas

WASHINGTON: Legislation introduced in June by U.S. Senators Bob Corker (R-TN) and Mark Warner (D-VA) got a major boost today with a Congressional Oversight Panel report recommending that the U.S. Treasury Department Ã????Ã???Ã??Ã?Â¢??consider placing its GM and Chrysler shares in an independent trust that would be insulated from political pressure and government interference.

The Corker-Warner TARP Recipient Ownership Trust Act of 2009, S. 1280, introduced June 17, 2009, would move any government ownership stakes in private companies greater than 20 percent (currently AIG, Citigroup, and General Motors) into a newly created trust to be managed by three independent, non-political trustees, appointed by the administration, with the objective of looking at TARP-recipient companies with fiduciary responsibility to the taxpayers. The Corker-Warner bill directs the trustees to liquidate the governmentÃ????Ã???Ã??Ã?Â¢??s interests by December 24, 2011, but stipulates that if the trustees feel liquidation is not in the best interest of taxpayers, they can come back to Congress at that time with their alternative recommendation. 

Corker and Warner believe their bill provides for a responsible exit strategy from government ownership of TARP-recipient companies. 

&quot;This past year we have seen unprecedented government intervention into the private market. In particular, the TARP legislation has taken American taxpayers into uncharted territory as common equity owners of private companies. We need a responsible exit strategy from government ownership, which is why Senator Warner and I have introduced this bill to expedite that process, shield taxpayer investment, and remove the potential politicization of the important core governance decisions at TARP-recipient companies,&quot; said Corker. 

&quot;I believe our legislation will go a long way toward providing additional assurances that a political agenda is not being pursued through government ownership in any of these companies and that these companies also are being dealt with fairly,&quot; Warner said. &quot;The bipartisan legislation we have proposed will set clear parameters so we can take these investments out of the federal government&apos;s hands and ensure maximum returns. Taxpayers deserve to have their investments managed in a way that rewards the risk they have undertaken in helping to save these huge institutions.&quot;

The bipartisan Corker-Warner TARP Recipient Ownership Trust Act is cosponsored by Senators Robert Bennett (R-UT), Michael Bennet (D-CO), Byron Dorgan (D-ND) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN).

Legislation to provide $2.9 billion over five years for research into advanced technology vehicles and medium- to heavy-duty commercial truck technologies passed the House today.

The authorization bill would increase U.S. Department of Energy funding by over 50 percent to $550 million for fiscal 2010, said Rep. Gary Peters, D-Mich., who sponsored the bill.

Funding would increase by $10 million a year, reaching $590 million by 2014, Peters said.

Ã???Ã??Ã?Â¢??Other nations are investing heavily in these technologies, and we cannot afford to be left behind,Ã???Ã??Ã?Â¢?? he said in a statement.

The bill passed by a 312-114 vote.

 The Prius hybrid automobile is popular for its fuel efficiency, but its electric motor and battery guzzle rare earth metals, a little-known class of elements found in a wide range of gadgets and consumer goods.

That makes Toyota&apos;s market-leading gasoline-electric hybrid car and other similar vehicles vulnerable to a supply crunch predicted by experts as China, the world&apos;s dominant rare earths producer, limits exports while global demand swells.

Jack Lifton, an independent commodities consultant and strategic metals expert, calls the Prius &quot;the biggest user of rare earths of any object in the world.&quot;

Each electric Prius motor requires 1 kilogram (2.2 lb) of neodymium, and each battery uses 10 to 15 kg (22-33 lb) of lanthanum. That number will nearly double under Toyota&apos;s plans to boost the car&apos;s fuel economy, he said.

Toyota plans to sell 100,000 Prius cars in the United States alone for 2009, and 180,000 next year. The company forecasts sales of 1 million units per year starting in 2010.

Let&apos;s Don&apos;t Get Fooled Again!!!

Cap and Trade is a regulatory system that sets a government limit on overall emissions of pollutants like the heat-trapping gases scientists have linked to global warming-- the &quot;cap.&quot; It then allows utilities, manufacturers and other emitters to &quot;trade&quot; pollution permits, or allowances, among themselves.

As he attempted to do with health care reform last week, the President is trying to breathe new life into financial reform. He&apos;s using the anniversary of the death of Lehman Brothers and the near-death experience of the rest of the Street, culminating with a $600 billion taxpayer financed bailout, to summon the political will for change. Yet the prospects seem dubious. As with health care reform, he has stood on the sidelines for months and allowed vested interests to frame the debate. Nor has he come up with a sufficiently bold or coherent set of reforms likely to change the way the Street does business, even if enacted.

Let&apos;s be clear: The Street today is up to the same tricks it was playing before its near-death experience. Derivatives, derivatives of derivatives, fancy-dance trading schemes, high-risk bets. &quot;Our model really never changed, we&apos;ve said very consistently that our business model remained the same,&quot; says Goldman Sach&apos;s chief financial officer.

President Obama, Democratic leaders in Congress, mainstream environmental groups and a growing number of business interests, including energy-consuming industries like autos, steel and aluminum, view cap and trade as the lowest-cost solution to a global pollution problem. The approach has been embraced as an alternative to top-down regulatory schemes which would simply levy taxes on harmful emissions. www.americanmotoristvote.com</description>

            <description>Harry&apos;s Ride-Of-The-Week has been a Brand New 2010 Chevrolet Equinox FWD 2LT. Black Granite exterior with a Black leather Interior. The Red Stitching is a nice touch!

G.M. has really put there best foot forward with this re-designed 2010 Equinox 2LT. The scrappy 4 Cylinder with DOHC as plenty of pep to zip you any where you want to go! Fully Loaded the 2010 Chevrolet Equinox comes in at a very affordable price point. Other Cross-over offerings from Nissan, Toyota, Honda, Ford or Chrysler can touch the 2010 Chevy Equinox in Value. Test Drive One And See! www.chevrolet.com/equinox

General Motors Co. will launch a new advertising campaign Monday featuring Chairman Ed Whitacre and touting a 60-day money back guarantee. 

The &quot;May the Best Car Win&quot; campaign will urge customers to try GM&apos;s new vehicles from one of the automaker&apos;s four core brands -- Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick and GMC. If customers are unhappy after purchasing a GM vehicle, they can return it within 60 days. 

Now for some Accountability 101:

In an effort to put a halt to the $1,400 trash can and the $50 million jet, corporate bailout recipients must disclose by Monday policies limiting &quot;luxury expenditures.&quot; 

In June, the Treasury Department imposed a number of restrictions on automakers and financial institutions that received government loans under the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program. 

The requirement came after Congress said companies that received TARP funds, including Chrysler Group LLC, GMAC Inc., Chrysler Financial LLC and General Motors Co., must adopt and disclose a written policy addressing four categories of &quot;excessive or luxury expenditures.&quot; 

With the exception of GM because its assets were acquired by a new company in July and it has more time to comply, TARP recipients must post on their company Web sites the policies by Monday, Treasury spokeswoman Meg Reilly said. 

The policy must cover entertainment or other events, office and facility renovations, aviation or other transportation services and other similar items, activities or events. 

Automakers came under harsh criticism for flying in private jets to congressional hearings last year to seek emergency loans. 

The policy is designed to avoid negative attention that followed after many banks that received taxpayer funds engaged in extravagant behavior. 

Recipients of TARP funds came under withering criticism for ordering new planes or spending millions on lavish overhauls of offices and tickets to entertainment events. 


General Motors Co. is now 1 million miles into its fuel cell experiment and company officials say having everyday people drive a test fleet of pollution-free cars has convinced them they are on the right track. 

The automaker on Friday said it passed the 1 million-miles-driven mark in its fuel cell Chevrolet Equinox vehicles, with about 5,000 people rotating in and out of more than 100 cars over the past 25 months. 

&quot;They&apos;ll tell you that after the first week, they pretty much forget it&apos;s a fuel cell car, which indicates to us that we have accomplished our goal of making the fuel cell transparent to the consumer,&quot; said Daniel O&apos;Connell, director of fuel cell commercialization at GM&apos;s research and development offices in Honeoye Falls, near Rochester. 

&quot;They get in the car and drive it like they&apos;ve always driven their cars, and that really tells me that fuel cells are closer than most people would believe,&quot; he said. 

Supporters see the fuel cell becoming a mainstream, eco-friendly alternative to petroleum-powered cars within the next decade. Powered by electricity, generated by a reaction between oxygen and hydrogen, the only emissions are wisps of water vapor.

The requirement came after Congress said companies that received TARP funds, including Chrysler Group LLC, GMAC Inc., Chrysler Financial LLC and General Motors Co., must adopt and disclose a written policy addressing four categories of &quot;excessive or luxury expenditures.&quot; 

With the exception of GM because its assets were acquired by a new company in July and it has more time to comply, TARP recipients must post on their company Web sites the policies by Monday, Treasury spokeswoman Meg Reilly said. 

The policy must cover entertainment or other events, office and facility renovations, aviation or other transportation services and other similar items, activities or events. 

Automakers came under harsh criticism for flying in private jets to congressional hearings last year to seek emergency loans. 

The policy is designed to avoid negative attention that followed after many banks that received taxpayer funds engaged in extravagant behavior. 

Recipients of TARP funds came under withering criticism for ordering new planes or spending millions on lavish overhauls of offices and tickets to entertainment events. 


General Motors Co. is now 1 million miles into its fuel cell experiment and company officials say having everyday people drive a test fleet of pollution-free cars has convinced them they are on the right track. 

The automaker on Friday said it passed the 1 million-miles-driven mark in its fuel cell Chevrolet Equinox vehicles, with about 5,000 people rotating in and out of more than 100 cars over the past 25 months. 

&quot;They&apos;ll tell you that after the first week, they pretty much forget it&apos;s a fuel cell car, which indicates to us that we have accomplished our goal of making the fuel cell transparent to the consumer,&quot; said Daniel O&apos;Connell, director of fuel cell commercialization at GM&apos;s research and development offices in Honeoye Falls, near Rochester. 

&quot;They get in the car and drive it like they&apos;ve always driven their cars, and that really tells me that fuel cells are closer than most people would believe,&quot; he said. 

Supporters see the fuel cell becoming a mainstream, eco-friendly alternative to petroleum-powered cars within the next decade. Powered by electricity, generated by a reaction between oxygen and hydrogen, the only emissions are wisps of water vapor.

A $1.6 billion plunge in automotive advertising helped fuel a 15.4 percent drop in total U.S. ad spending during the first half of the year compared with the first half of 2008, according to new ad industry figures.

Car and truck advertising -- from the automakers and dealer associations combined -- fell 31.4 percent to 3.6 billion in the first six months of 2009. That&apos;s down from $5.3 billion during the first half of 2008, according to The Nielsen Co., a New York audience and ad-spending tracking service.

Total domestic advertising spending fell by $10.3 billion, to $56.9 billion, in the first half of 2009
 
When Automobile Manufactures don&apos;t max their advertising budgets you can bet that the United States economy is nowhere near normal. Brace up for Winter!

Here was a comment from Randy W. who listens to Car Concerns Radio on Chicago&apos;s WJOB: &quot;The ad business is in a funk. The industry as a whole was flinging s__t on the wall hoping for something to stick only to come away more confused as ever. There is no real plan in force to effectively know where and how to capture an audience anymore. Too much fragmantation due to the internet. Until then, auto manufacturers will always be looking for new ad agencies.&quot; 


Now on the just ended Government Sponsored &quot;Cash-For-Clunkers&quot; Program that propped up Auto Sales this Summer: 

The Transportation Department has repaid dealers for more than a third of the vouchers they gave consumers under the cash-for-clunkers program, a federal spokeswoman said today.

As of this morning, the government has paid dealers $1.22 billion for 289,000 vouchers, said Jill Zuckman, spokeswoman for Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood.

That&apos;s 42.4 percent of the $2.88 billion applied for by dealers under the program, which accepted rebate submissions from July 27 to Aug. 25.

The latest figures suggest a dramatic increase in reimbursements over the last week after Transportation doubled the staff that is processing dealer applications.

Meeting the new deadline, the Obama administration has set a Sept. 30 target for reimbursing dealers for all properly filed claims.

&quot;We&apos;ll meet our deadline,&quot; LaHood said today at a press conference, &quot;Every dealer will be paid if they provided us the accurate information.&quot; 

LaHood&apos;s payment assertions today were supported by dealers and their representatives.

Harry is still fighting for the violated rights of the Chrysler &amp; G.M. affected Dealers: The Car Concerns Consulting and a committee of terminated Chrysler and GM dealers have reached a compromise on recommended procedures for reinstating dealers.

The compromise, obtained by Car Concerns Consulting, calls for General Motors Co. and Chrysler Group to disclose the exact criteria they used to choose more than 2,000 dealerships for termination. If the automakers agree to the recommendation, any dealers wrongly designated for termination according to those criteria would be reinstated automatically.

The official government program is closed. However, our dealer network remains open for business and is always ready to trade - no matter the age or condition of your vehicle.

Our dealers have been in business for years before the CARS rebate program and will remain in business for many years to come.

We have a have a little saying about trade ins - &quot;We will trade for anything we don&apos;t have to feed.&quot; So if you missed the deadline or if you wanted to trade but did not met the government qualifications, visit us today and we will offer you top dollar for your trade.

The best part of trading after the CARS program is - no paperwork and no MPG qualifications. You can purchase whatever type of vehicle you want - big or small!</description>

            <description>Car Concerns Radio is here to help you with your Retaill Automotive Purchase this weekend. www.carconcerns.com

 General Motors Co. will launch a new advertising campaign Monday featuring Chairman Ed Whitacre and touting a 60-day money back guarantee. 

The &quot;May the Best Car Win&quot; campaign will urge customers to try GM&apos;s new vehicles from one of the automaker&apos;s four core brands -- Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick and GMC. If customers are unhappy after purchasing a GM vehicle, they can return it within 60 days. 

Whitacre, former CEO of telecommunications giant AT&amp;T, is leading a transformation of GM since it emerged from bankruptcy court July 10 after shedding billions in debt, factories, brands and workers. 

Ads featuring automotive chairmen have mixed records. In the 1980s, former Chrysler Corp. Chairman Lee Iacocca succeeded with a plain-spoken approach and signature catch-phrase: &quot;If you can find a better car, buy it.&quot; 

Dieter Zetsche, former CEO of Chrysler Group parent DaimlerChrysler AG and former Chrysler CEO, starred in a short-lived Dr. Z campaign earlier this decade with mixed results. And starting in 2002, Ford Motor Co. featured Chairman and CEO Bill Ford Jr. in ads focusing on its cars and trucks and the Dearborn automaker&apos;s heritage.

Ford Motor Co. endorsed a bill in Congress Thursday to ban hand-held text messaging while driving. 

A Senate version, sponsored by Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., would withhold highway funding to states that didn&apos;t adopt a ban. 

Peter Lawson, Ford&apos;s vice president for government relations, said in an interview the Dearborn automaker was endorsing the Schumer bill that he called a &quot;common-sense measure.&quot; 

 
The bill would not prohibit people from using Ford&apos;s Sync system or other systems to send hands-free messages. 

&quot;We think it&apos;s an appropriate response to deal with the issue of hand-held texting, which we think on its face probably should be illegal,&quot; Lawson said. He said a broad consensus is developing &quot;that it&apos;s appropriate for Congress to do something about this.&quot; 

Ford is eager to convince policymakers that hands-free systems like Sync are not the problem. They argue the most dangerous situations in vehicles are when drivers look away from the road or take their hands off the wheel, which happens when people are sending text messages. A Virginia Tech Transportation Institute study released in July said drivers of heavy vehicles using a hand-held text messaging system had a 23.2 times as high a risk of a crash than drivers who weren&apos;t.

Now that the &quot;cash for clunkers&quot; program is over, the big question is whether American consumers will slump back into unconsciousness as the adrenaline jolt of the government incentive wears off. 

Last month the annualized U.S. sales rate topped 13 million units, as buyers flocked to showrooms to take advantage of up to $4,500 in discounts under the program. That sales rate looks pretty impressive considering it had dipped to below 10 million earlier this year. 

The problem is that the auto industry had grown used to 16 million or 17 million consumers buying new vehicles every year, so any significant drop in demand will continue to cause problems. 

And now that the program is behind us, many wonder if car buyers will tighten their grip on their checkbooks again. 
The signs from Europe do not bode well. Sales there have been boosted by trade-in incentives -- the German government is spending twice as much as the U.S. administration, for example -- but now that the cash is running out, automakers fear buyers will evaporate.

            <description>Auto loans that are 60 days past due rose by 21.2 percent in the second quarter from year-earlier levels, according to business and marketing research firm Experian Automotive. 

In the second quarter, 0.80 percent of car loans were 60 to 89 days past due, up from 0.66 percent during the same period in 2008. 

Thirty-day delinquencies rose 14.6 percent in the second quarter to 3.06 percent, up from 2.67 percent the previous year. Combined, 30- and 60-day delinquencies amount to $25.5 billion in loans at risk, Experian said. 

Michigan was among only three states to show a reduction in 30-day delinquencies, according to the study&apos;s findings. The other two were Alaska and Nebraska. 

&quot;As the recession continued to drag on during the second quarter, the rate of delinquency rose much faster from the first to second quarter than it did the previous year,&quot; said Scott Waldron, president of Experian Automotive in Schaumburg, Ill. &quot;This caused lenders to tighten criteria and push some consumers out of the new vehicle market.&quot; 

Experian said a higher proportion of shoppers were buying used cars. Used vehicle financing increased 5 percent in the first half of this year. 


An independent oversight panel urged the Treasury Department to place its equity stakes in General Motors Co. and Chrysler Group LLC in an independent trust, and warned it is &quot;highly unlikely&quot; that taxpayers will recover all of the $81Ã?Â¢??billion the government has loaned to the auto industry. 

The 143-page report from the Congressional Oversight Panel overseeing the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program said the Treasury Department must take steps to ensure more transparency. The report, which will now be submitted to Congress, is likely to add ammunition to attempts by some to force a timetable for a speedy government divestment of its equity stakes in the two automakers -- and its stake in GMAC. 

The panel, chaired by Harvard Law Professor Elizabeth Warren, said Chrysler is &quot;highly unlikely&quot; to repay $5.4 billion of its $15 billion in government loans and quotes the administration&apos;s top auto adviser, Ron Bloom, as saying the government may recover little of the initial $19.4 billion loaned to GM of the $50 billion it has received. 

The report said putting the government&apos;s stake of the companies in a trust managed by an independent trustee would &quot;limit the impact of conflicts of interest and to facilitate an effective exit strategy.&quot; 

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner is set to testify before the oversight panel Thursday.

&quot;As the recession continued to drag on during the second quarter, the rate of delinquency rose much faster from the first to second quarter than it did the previous year,&quot; said Scott Waldron, president of Experian Automotive in Schaumburg, Ill. &quot;This caused lenders to tighten criteria and push some consumers out of the new vehicle market.&quot; 

Experian said a higher proportion of shoppers were buying used cars. Used vehicle financing increased 5 percent in the first half of this year. 


An independent oversight panel urged the Treasury Department to place its equity stakes in General Motors Co. and Chrysler Group LLC in an independent trust, and warned it is &quot;highly unlikely&quot; that taxpayers will recover all of the $81Ã?Â¢??billion the government has loaned to the auto industry. 

The 143-page report from the Congressional Oversight Panel overseeing the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program said the Treasury Department must take steps to ensure more transparency. The report, which will now be submitted to Congress, is likely to add ammunition to attempts by some to force a timetable for a speedy government divestment of its equity stakes in the two automakers -- and its stake in GMAC. 

The panel, chaired by Harvard Law Professor Elizabeth Warren, said Chrysler is &quot;highly unlikely&quot; to repay $5.4 billion of its $15 billion in government loans and quotes the administration&apos;s top auto adviser, Ron Bloom, as saying the government may recover little of the initial $19.4 billion loaned to GM of the $50 billion it has received. 

The report said putting the government&apos;s stake of the companies in a trust managed by an independent trustee would &quot;limit the impact of conflicts of interest and to facilitate an effective exit strategy.&quot; 

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner is set to testify before the oversight panel Thursday.

            <description>Car Concerns Is The Fastest Growing Car Talk Radio Show In The USA! Car Concerns is Nationally Syndicated Radio Talk Show Now Heard In Great USA Cities Like Boston, Chicago, Pittsburg and Other Great Cities Around The Nation. Is Car Concerns Heard In Your Town? 

Ford is likely to bring a variant of the model, called a multipurpose vehicle in Europe, to the U.S. market. The company already has confirmed that the next, all-important Focus compact will be built on the same underpinnings as the C-Max. 

&quot;The compact car platform will be used in every region around the world for multiple products,&quot; said Ford spokesman Mark Schirmer. 

Most automakers are increasingly turning to global platforms as an affordable way to produce a larger variety of vehicles using the same core components. 

Ford already has products that it plans to sell globally, such as the European-designed Fiesta subcompact. But the C-Max&apos;s compact platform was the first designed to serve as the foundation for all compact-sized vehicles as part of the &quot;One Ford&quot; strategy laid out by CEO Alan Mulally. www.ford.com

Close to twice as many American Motorist will likely consider a Detroit 3 brand for their next new vehicle as will probably consider an Asian or European vehicle, a new study says. Eighty-one percent of new-car buyers in Consumer Reports magazine&apos;s recent survey said they were likely to consider an American company for their next vehicle. That compares with 47 percent who would consider Asian companies and 46 percent who would consider European companies. But actual U.S. light-vehicle sales results differ. 
 
Through August, Detroit automakers vehicles made up only 43.9 percent of new-vehicle sales. Korean and Japanese automakers had a 48 percent share, and European companies attracted 7.5 percent of sales. 
 

 
When President Obama was elected, he promised to usher in an era of fiscal responsibility. Even the theme of his inauguration speech was &quot;Era of Responsibility.&quot; So how&apos;s that promise working out for him? Well, on Tuesday the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released a report on the budget predicting a $7 trillion deficit by 2019. This is after Obama&apos;s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) released its own report predicting a $9 trillion deficit over the same period of time. The same OMB report shows public debt doubling by 2019 and reaching three-quarters the size of the entire national economy. So with our nation already recording historic levels of debt and facing exploding deficits, what are the Obama Democrats proposing? If you guessed more spending on bloated federal government programs ... you would be correct. 
 
Obama and his liberal Congressional allies want to saddle taxpayers with even more debt through their government-run health care experiment that will cost trillions of dollars. In addition, they are proposing a radical cap and trade tax that will increase Americans&apos; tax burden by an estimated $150 billion a year. This is on top of the record spending -- nearly $5 trillion -- Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid rammed through the Democrat controlled Congress in the first 100 days. Friend, there&apos;s only one way to stop the tidal wave of Obama&apos;s red ink -- electing more conservative Republicans in 2009 and 2010. 
 
That starts today with the continuing support of grassroots leaders like you. Please help by making a secure online contribution of $25, $50, $100, $500 or $1,000 @ www.americanmotoristvote.com. There is no time to waste. 
 
The President has acknowledged, &quot;We are out of money now.&quot; Yet the Obama Democrats continue their reckless spending and borrowing putting our great nation on the path to bankruptcy. Their soak-the-&quot;rich,&quot; class-warfare rhetoric is just a slick way to hide the fact that you and millions of other hard-working, middle class families -- as well as your children and grandchildren -- will be footing the bill in the form of higher taxes to bankroll their leftist schemes. 
 
To all American Motorist Vote Campaign members, candidates are counting on the generous support of grassroots activists like you to lead the fight to stop the Obama Democrats&apos; Concerns in the morning between 9:00 to 11:00 A.M. (EST).

            <itunes:summary>A Special Thanks to the Hundreds that turned out for Harry&apos;s Book Signing in the Car Concerns Radio home market of Knoxville at the beautiful Borders Book Store at Turkey Creek.

The Borders Book Store was packed and the sidewalks outside were lined. Huge Success, Huge! Big! Tremendous. Thank you Alice Rotor, Store GM for making it all work.

Harry shook hands with hundreds and promoted the American Motorist Vote Campaign while selling &amp; signing his book. Thanks to everyone who bought Harry&apos;s Book and carried the American Motorist Vote Campaign message out of the store and took it to the streets. &quot;Our Numbers...Our Power!&quot;

As Harry goes across the Country promoting the American Motorist Vote Campaign he will be doing Book Signings along the way in the 6:00 to 10:00 P.M. timeslot. www.americanmotoristvote.com

President Obama and Left-Wing Politicans in Congress scream until they&apos;re blue in the face that American Motorist Vote Campaign do not want any kind of health care reform that makes choice not an option. www.americanmotoristvote.com



American Motorist Vote Camapign Members, Harry Douglas is here to tell you nothing could be further from the truth -- and it&apos;s time for the Great American Motorist to fight back against the Liberal smears with the facts.

The American Motorist Vote Campaign believe reforms to America&apos;s health care system are necessary, but reform should be incremental and should first do no harm -- especially to our all American Motorist. And we oppose raiding Medicare to pay for President Obama&apos;s new health care experiment.

American Motorist of the USA deserve access to quality health care and coverage that will not bankrupt them. That&apos;s why the American Motorist Vote Campaign is calling for Congress to adopt a American Motorist Health Care Bill of Rights.

The American Motorist Vote Campaign is running a new ad to advance our call for a Seniors&apos; Health Care Bill of Rights that targets Democrats and Liberal Republicans who may be pressured into voting for Obama&apos;s health care experiment that cuts $500 billion from Medicare over the next ten years. We need your help today to promote our message as the debate over health care reform continues in the weeks and months ahead.

 Help get our message about protecting the health care rights of our greatest generation past the liberal media filter and directly to the voters.

Friend, the American Motorist Vote Campaign Seniors&apos; Health Care Bill of Rights is straightforward. It calls for:

Protecting Medicare and not cutting it in the name of &quot;health care reform;&quot;
Prohibiting government from getting between seniors and their doctors;
Outlawing any effort to ration health care based on age; Preventing government from interfering with end-of-life care discussions; Ensuring seniors can keep their current coverage; and,
Protecting veterans by preserving Tricare and other benefit programs for military families. It&apos;s quite simple really: The American Motorist Vote Campaign want to keep seniors and doctors in charge of health care choices -- not a new government-run entitlement that raises costs, increases regulations and limits choice like the Obama-Care&apos; plan.

Your contribution of $25, $50, $100, $500 or $1,000 today will help get this message out past the Fly-By Media filter during this critical debate. Please help the AMVC refute the Liberal Democrats&apos; lies that Republicans do not want health care reform -- and help us stop their rush to strip health care services from The Great American Motorist of the USA.

Harry&apos;s Guest in the 10:00 A.M. (EST) hour, Rusty Waples, brand manager for Shell&apos;s performance chemicals line of products including Gumout.

Rusty has been with Shell since 1999 in a variety of marketing roles. His passion is performance and he&apos;s leveraged that in his past role as Shell Racing&apos;s fuels and lubes marketing manager for the US. He continues this motorhead mentality in his current role as well. 

Gumout Details: Gumout Regane Complete Fuel System cleaner is designed to clean the entire fuel system of a vehicle, maximizing fuel economy. Gumout Regane is specially formulated to remain effective for up to 10 fill-ups.

 Formulated to remain effective up to 10 fill-ups. Cleans six of six fuel system parts;
Maximizes fuel economy.

&quot;Gomout&quot; is not Car Cobcerns Certified.

Now that the &quot;Cash-For-Clunkers&quot; program is over, the big question is whether American consumers will slump back into unconsciousness as the adrenaline jolt of the government incentive wears off. 

Last month the annualized U.S. sales rate topped 13 million units, as buyers flocked to showrooms to take advantage of up to $4,500 in discounts under the program. That sales rate looks pretty impressive considering it had dipped to below 10 million earlier this year. 

The problem is that the auto industry had grown used to 16 million or 17 million consumers buying new vehicles every year, so any significant drop in demand will continue to cause problems. 

And now that the program is behind us, many wonder if car buyers will tighten their grip on their checkbooks again. 

The signs from Europe do not bode well. Sales there have been boosted by trade-in incentives -- the German government is spending twice as much as the U.S. administration, for example -- but now that the cash is running out, automakers fear buyers will evaporate.

When President Obama was elected, he promised to usher in an era of fiscal responsibility. Even the theme of his inauguration speech was &quot;Era of Responsibility.&quot; Well, on Tuesday the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released a report on the budget predicting a $7 trillion deficit by 2019. This is after Obama&apos;s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) released its own report predicting a $9 trillion deficit over the same period of time. The same OMB report shows public debt doubling by 2019 and reaching three-quarters the size of the entire national economy. So with our nation already recording historic levels of debt and facing exploding deficits, what are the Obama Democrats proposing? If you guessed more spending on bloated federal government programs ... you would be correct. Obama and his liberal Congressional allies want to saddle taxpayers with even more debt through their government-run health care experiment that will cost trillions of dollars. In addition, they are proposing a radical cap and trade tax that will increase Americans&apos; tax burden by an estimated $150 billion a year. This is on top of the record spending -- nearly $5 trillion -- Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid rammed through the Democrat controlled Congress in the first 100 days. Friend, there&apos;s only one way to stop the tidal wave of Obama&apos;s red ink -- electing more conservative Republicans in 2009 and 2010. That starts today with the continuing support of grassroots leaders like you. Please help by making a secure online contribution of $25, $50, $100, $500 or $1,000 @ www.americanmotoristvote.com.

            <description>Close to twice as many American Motorist will likely consider a Detroit 3 brand for their next new vehicle as will probably consider an Asian or European vehicle, a new study says.

Eighty-one percent of new-car buyers in Consumer Reports magazine&apos;s recent survey said they were likely to consider an American company for their next vehicle. That compares with 47 percent who would consider Asian companies and 46 percent who would consider European companies.

But actual U.S. light-vehicle sales results differ. Through August, Detroit automakers vehicles made up only 43.9 percent of new-vehicle sales. Korean and Japanese automakers had a 48 percent share, and European companies attracted 7.5 percent of sales.

            <description>Cash-For-Clunkers is over for now! But still your Cold Hard American Currency is not worth the paper it is printed on.

Car Concerns Consulting, a premier online resource for automotive information, today released some initial analysis about the eBay/General Motors program&apos;s results to date. 

Since the program launched last month, Car Concerns Consulting has observed that the number of site visitors conducting GM vehicle pricing research has jumped ten percent higher in California than it has in the other 49 states. However, GM consideration growth is flat relative to other states in the same time period. This suggests that the program appeals to car shoppers who had existing interest in GM products, but it is not generating any new interest.

Car Concerns Consulting analysts estimate that eBay &quot;buy it now&quot; prices are on average two percent higher than average market price. On a $25,000 vehicle, that equates to about $500. 

The World Wide Web is indeed a web, and Automotive Marketers need to connect all touch points a consumer is likely to click on,&quot; commented Brandon Lane of Harry Lane Automotive Consulting. &quot;In this particular case, GM offered a price that is above market price and that could create friction for those trying to close a sale.&quot;
 

The Investment That&apos;s Never Been Worth Zero! Gold!
Throughout history, gold has a one of a kind track record. It&apos;s never been worth zero, at any time, in any economy. It&apos;s that kind of certainty in this uncertain economy that has so much money, globally, chasing a fixed supply of gold.

Easy to Buy and Easy to Sell 
At thousands of locations around the globe, gold coins led by the American Gold Eagle, are as easily converted to cash as they are to buy. In fact, contrary to popular belief, gold can be more liquid than stocks or even bonds.
