Free Press staff and wire reports • December 10, 2008

A retired engineer from General Motors Corp. has launched a new Web site, www.BoycottAlabamaNow.com, aimed at Republican Sen. Richard Shelby and the state he represents in Congress, Alabama.

Shelby has been an outspoken critic of Detroit's automakers, who have been seeking as much as $34 billion in bridge loans to stay solvent until the economy recovers.


Joe Babiasz, who launched the site, said he wanted to show Shelby what it's like "to turn your back on hardworking Americans."


One page of the site truth-squads remarks made by Shelby about Detroit in Congress and on various news shows.


"Mr. Shelby is hell-bent on shutting down the Big Three," Babiasz said. If Shelby is "not going to support America, we're not going to support Alabama."

3. I live in Alabama

but this guy does not represent me in any meaningful way. There are a lot of hurting workers in the automotive industry down here and all I really see is the greedy bastards scrambling to keep their profits.
