Chrysler forced many dealership to renovate and revamp their facilities within the past 2 years at the dealership cost. Then once these renovation were completed and debt was created, they pulled out of those dealerships leaving them high and dry and forcing them into bankruptcy. Chrysler should not be able to give these dealerships that have supported Chrysler for over 35 years only 3 weeks. Please help all these dealerships and the over 30,000 american workers keep their jobs.May 25th, 2009Someone from Hanover, MA writes:

This is replying to Scott D. from CA. WOW!, What a change of heart you have had? I'm sorry I thought in your e-mail to MR. MOLITIERNO it read like this: AND I QUOTE YOU "Please don't waste my time sending me a link to your petition." "Terminating the WEAK dealers that close around me means more MONEY for US Less is more. I HEAR TOYOTA AND HONDA ARE HIRING." I don't think I have to say anything else...you said it ALL, Scott D.REPORT COMMENTS

It seems that if you are middle class you have no say in what goes on in this country, it is a very sad time we live in. As long as you have money no one else matters, but their day will come, and they will be in our shoes. Working class men and women built this country and now our government feels that we no longer matter. I'm truely sorry for the way things are going for you, and my prayers are with you all.REPORT COMMENTS

I think it is unethical that Chrysler is abandoning their loyal neighborhood dealers for their own profit and greed. Why can't they work out a plan to buy back the inventories that these dealers are stuck with. This would at least not leave the dealers in a bankrupt situation as well. How many people can we afford to have in bankrupcy. Why should the mismanagement of a huge corporation fall onto the backs of the individual dealers and the taxpayers?REPORT COMMENTS

As a WWII veteran, I do not think that this is the American way that I fought for. It is time the poor small dealers also had a right to make a living. Or are we still under the Bush influence?REPORT COMMENTS

Permit me??. if you will, to share a few comments on the decision by Chrysler Corporation to close hundreds of their dealerships across the nation. The media tells me that the closing of these dealerships will help them cut cost. Could anyone explain to me just exactly how that will work? I work with a number of police departments across the State of Alabama. The subject of the dealer closings recently came up during a visit with the operations commander for a municipal police department. This department was partially complete in switching their entire fleet to Dodge Chargers. Over the past few years, this department, like many others across the nation, had been converting from Ford Crown Victoria?s to the Charger police specials. You?ll never guess why! Was it because Charger was better? Less expensive? Actually, it was mainly because of LOCAL SERVICE! The nearest Ford dealer was many miles away. I leave the comments regarding Chevrolet to others. As it turns out, there was a local Dodge dealer in the community ? not just any dealer, but a Five-Star dealer ? the best of the best! So what happens now that the dealership is closing? Well, there is another Dodge dealer sixty miles to the north and another around seventy miles to the south. Want to venture a guess as what this department loses in terms of manpower, available equipment, operating expense and lack of productivity as a result of this decision by Chrysler to ?save money?? I just don?t get it. What does the dealer ?cost? Chrysler? All they do is buy cars from Chrysler, sell them in their local community and take care of Chrysler?s customers. They employ people who buy Chrysler products. They attend local churches and civic organization that buy Chrysler products. They pay taxes to the community in which they live that buy Chrysler products. They are among the biggest media advertisers, charitable contributors, and employers in the community. It is probably worth noting than that if there is no dealer in the area, sales for Chrysler products will suffer. Most of us won?t travel more than 10 miles to purchase a vehicle from a servicing dealer. So what do all those potential buyers do? They buy another brand of vehicle! Can anyone explain to me how that ?helps? Chrysler? So the dealer no longer employs people, pays no taxes, spends no money in the community, sells no cars, provides no service, and that makes things better? The ripple effect is that Chrysler sells fewer vehicles, makes less money, employs fewer people, and pays less taxes, payroll, and benefits. The union employees at Chrysler will not have to make any concessions, but somehow I think there will be fewer of them around to enjoy their tough bargaining for high wages and benefits that include Viagra prescriptions. And yet, I am told that my elected representatives are putting billions of our tax dollars into a company that will ultimately fail. The only way a business can survive, at least in a capitalistic society, is to compete. You can?t compete with a limited distribution system or cutting out the very people that are essential to serving the needs of your customers. Instead of a few mega dealers, how about MORE community dealers? Just a thought?. P.S. I have heard the broadcast comments of the President of Chrysler. He puts a whole new meaning to double speak.....REPORT COMMENTS
