 revolution!  This week we've launched the Declaration of Independence from 
 Oil! Join us to sign the Declaration in San Francisco --  WHEN: 4 p.m. this 
 Friday, July 9th  WHAT: Kick off America's energy revolution with a protest 
 at the Ford dealership   WHERE: 2001 Market Street @ Dolores St.  WHY: "The 
 average fuel economy of Ford's U.S. car and truck fleet is last among the 
 top six automakers for the fifth straight year according to the 
 Environmental Protection Agency."  - The Detroit News, July 4th, 2004  SIGN 
 THE DECLARATION!  visit: http://www.jumpstartford.com/action/july4.html   
 When in the Course of human events our world is imperiled by our dependence 
 on oil, it is our responsibility to declare to the worst automaker, the 
 despotic corporation Ford Motor Company:   We hold these truths to be 
 self-evident:   Oil dependence is depriving us of certain unalienable 
 Rights. Among these are Life, Liberty and a Stable Climate. To secure oil, 
 Governments are resorting to unjust violence among Men. Exhaust from our 
 vehicles is endangering the earth on which our liberty depends. The world 
 economy and American communities are insufferably subject to convulsions of 
 the world oil market.   Ford Motor Company has established an absolute 
 Tyranny of Oil over the American People. To prove this, let Facts be 
 submitted to a candid world.  Ford has for five long years carried the 
 lowest fuel economy of all American automakers.   When it comes to the 
 emission of greenhouse gases, Fords cars are the dirtiest in the industry. 
 If Ford were a country, it would be the 10th largest global warming 
 polluter worldwide.  Ford has betrayed the trust of the public and reneged 
 on its promises to improve fuel economy. Ford has refused to install 
 existing fuel efficiency technology in its vehicles, an unwarrantable 
 waste.  Ford has fought lawmakers’ efforts to increase fuel economy 
 standards.   Ford has become complacent about fuel economy. Today the 
 typical Ford vehicle on the road gets worse gas mileage than the Model-T 
 did 80 years ago.   We, therefore, by Authority of the good People of this 
 Country, solemnly publish and declare, That we are, and of Right ought to 
 be Free and Independent of Oil; That we are Absolved from all Allegiance to 
 Ford Motor Company, and that all economic connection between our people and 
 Oil ought to be totally dissolved.   Signed,  to sign the declaration,
