20,000 Delphi Salaried retirees fight for their earned pensions AND health care, while GM AND Obama reward the UAW for their VOTES. America, GM does not deserve your patronage until this issue is solved. We urge you to support this just cause. We don't expect anything we weren't promised for our entire careers, only EQUAL treatment among ALL retirees. We urge that YOU do not purchase ANY GM product, service, or stock until this is made right. The same way the UAW would have struck GM, had this been done to them. If GM and Obama get away with this, YOUR PENSION & HEALTH CARE are NEXT! The solution is swift, if MILLIONS of buyers REFUSE to buy their product. It will FORCE them to settle. And if you want to blame anyone, blame GM. They CHOSE to do this!
