GM donates $41,000 to lawmakers' pet projects

I love my JEEP...I've driven one for years.....as soon as this one is paid off, I'm buying a FORD!

GM donates $41,000 to lawmakers' pet projects:

When General Motors went through bankruptcy last year, it suspended its political donations. Now that it's owned by the U.S. government, it's donating to lawmakers' pet projects again.

The carmaker gave $41,000 to groups associated with lawmakers, the vast majority of it -- $36,000 -- to the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, the company reported on a disclosure form last week. The CBC Foundation is a charity with 11 members of the Congressional Black Caucus on its board.

'We've always given to the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation as far back as anyone can remember,' said Greg Martin, GM spokesman. 'Our commitment remains unabated, and we continue to be a proud supporter of their work to advance economic development in communities throughout the U.S.'"
