One of the Ford Foundation's most notable disbursements was its 1968 "seed grant" to create the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund (MALDEF), an open borders group that is now the most influential Hispanic advocacy organization in the United States. Between 1970 and 2005, Ford gave more than $25 million to MALDEF; nearly half of that amount ($11,285,000) was donated between 2000 and 2004. The Ford Foundation is also a longtime supporter of the American Civil Liberties Union, as evidenced by its $7 million grant to the ACLU in 1999. "The ACLU has no better partner and friend than the Ford Foundation," said the ACLU's then-Executive Director Ira Glasser. "It is fitting that the largest single gift … ever to the ACLU, should come from Ford."http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/funderProfile.asp?fndid=5176

And off I go to write a letter to Ford Corporation and let them know that I do not own and now never will buy a Ford product -- and why.

I think that's another good reason not to buy a Ford.

And to think that my choice of truck has been ford, I think I'm going to file for divorce, for incompatability & marry a dodge or a chevy.

I would not buy a Ford if I had to walk.
