Rally for Prospect Motors January 10 at High Noon

As most of you are aware GMAC, the financing company for GM has frozen the credit for Prospect Motors that resulted in the closure of the car dealership owned by the Frank Halvorson family for over 25 years.

I am asking for your help. As Prospect Motors and the Halvorson family has stepped up and contributed so much to this community I am asking for you to step up. Let us not forget their contributions to our community and families including purchasing animals at the Junior Livestock Auction, sponsorships for the Fair and leadership as a long time Director of the Amador County Fair. This is just a small sample of how the Halvorson family has contributed to Amador County.

At HIGH NOON this Saturday, January 10, there will be a GIANT SUPPORT RALLY in the Prospect Motors parking lot. Gather up everyone you know, put on your 4-H, FFA or Grange uniform, make signs, bring a banner and come out and show your support for the Halvorson Family.

Help spread the word. Text message, email, call, help pass out flyers. Get everyone you know to attend this photo-op and show the world how Amador County supports Frank Halverson and his family. There will be lots going on including the combined marching bands from the high schools.

There is one more thing you can do. Send an email to GM and GMAC to save Prospect Motors. Time is critical. Let's take back our future. Please send your email today to: Mark Laneve, Head of GM North American Operations at mark.laneve@gm.com, and to Barbara Stokel, Head of GMAC at barbara.stokel@gmacfs.com. If possible, please send these addresses to as many local residents as possible and have them contribute to this important venture as well.
