Did Chrysler Dealers Receive ‘Pink Slips’ Due to Their Politics?

Did some of the 1,100 Chrysler dealers who’ve been told they have to close their dealerships receive “pink slips” as a result of their political affiliations or contributions made — or not made — to certain political campaigns?  That’s the question that a number of bloggers are researching this week.

Two days ago, Doug Ross published an extensive piece which provides links to several blogs offering research on what appears to be some political chicanery.

Yesterday, a Reuters article cites a lawyer representing a Chrysler dealer as saying the plan to cut dealers was not Chrysler’s and it is unconstitutional.

Today, RedState.com offers the latest update on the politically-motivated closings of Chrysler dealerships.

In addition, fellow St. Louis blogger Reboot Congress, a software architect by profession, is inviting interested webbies to join in a crowd-sourced effort to find answers.

Stay tuned folks.  This could get even uglier than it already is.
