Gonzo FreakPowerHow's this for a fax? If you feel this will work for you go ahead and use it. The more they get of the exact same message the more serious it looks:

Re: Michelin�s support for the American Humane Society
I would like to let you know that I don�t agree with your company�s support of AHA.
I, along with my family, friends and many other AR members and their families and friends will avoid buying Michelin products unless we learn that your company has withdrawn support for AHA.
As news of this regrettable AHA support spreads throughout the hunting community you can expect many more of these faxes along with phone calls and letters. Please move quickly to dissolve all ties with AHA.

Tire Maker is On the Road Again with Sportsmen 29 May 2004, 10:10
wrongtargetIt doesn't appear that Michelin has changed anything, their original commitment to the antis was thru June 25th, that hasn't changed.

Outdoor WriterNor will it change anymore than it has, as per the news release.
Programs such as these normally involve contracts, and not abiding to them can become very costly. But you can bet this one will be the last Michelin signs with AHA.
So instead of bashing the company beyond this point, perhaps it would be smarter to follow the suggestion of the U.S. Sportsmen�s Alliance ala:
Sportsmen should thank Michelin North America for ending its relationship with a national anti-hunting organization by contacting Mr. James Micali, Chairman and President, Michelin North America, Inc., 1 Parkway South, Greenville, SC, 29615. Phone (864) 458-5000. Fax (864) 458-6359. Toll Free (800) 847-3435. < !--color--> -TONY
