A Letter to Santa

 by Auto Elf

(aka Rochelle Brown)

Dear Santa!!

We’ve tried to be good automakers this year.  We’ve worked diligently on our new fuel efficient cars, we’re tried to add more wow to the body style and we’ve  really upped the anti on safety.

We’ve only experienced one or two little problems this year. One is that the price of gas skyrocketed before we could get all of our hybrids on the market and the second is that consumer confidence turned its back on us when our stock took a barreling plunge. Santa, we are working very hard to correct the problem.

We’ve asked the powers that be in Washington, D.C. to help us out. We only need a few billion dollars to meet payroll and continue our mission.  We only followed in the footsteps of other big companies that the government is assisting, too.  But when we asked, all the pesky media could do was to talk about our CEO’s and their corporate jets.

Don’t they know that those jets are part of the company image..just like your sleigh.  Can you image what would happen if you showed up in Washington, D.C. driving something other than the reindeer driven sleigh?  It wouldn’t be a pretty picture and you’d be allover the network news.

So, Santa, if you can see your way clear, please send us a big ol’bag of cash for Christmas to help save the big three car industry and its employees.

There’s milk and cookies for you in the deal!

Sincerely.

Autoworkers
