The fight over an Air Force tanker contract will go before a national audience tonight. News 5 first told you last night about CNN's Lou Dobbs who said on his show that any Congressman who thinks Northrop Grumman and EADS should keep the contract should be impeached. Tonight, Dobbs will have Washington state Congressman Norman Dicks on his show. Dicks says Boeing should have won the contract.
Dobb's has an online poll on his website about the tanker contract. If you want to vote, click here. Email Lou Dobbs.

Mobile County has set up a website in support of Northrop Grumman and EADS tanker win. To check it out, click here.

We have an opportunity to help ourselves and now that may be taken away from us. The Gulf Coast is Amereican, not some foreign market where the jobs will be out-sourced to.

lets me get this straight in my mind.  We CAN build rockets that take our space program to the stars, we CAN build and repair war ships to protect our freedoms and way of life, we can provide our Young Men and Women to fight for our freedom and the freedom of others, BUT WE CAN’T BUILD AIRPLANES, Mmmmmmmmmmmm

of course i voted in the poll emailed boeings pocket reps i emailed mr dobbs last night the only reason he is doing this is to get ratings they only have like 80 thousand votes total so we might stand a chance if everyone emails family friends etc and get them to vote but if it was a really big issue it would be on all the major networks and you notice its only lou dobbs who has anything to say i guess 80000 is a lot more than his normal 3 viewers

I think Mr. Dobbs owes Mobile an apolagy.
Yes they picked the right town for there business, And they know we can get the work done, and do it right.
Thank you all who are fighting for us.

if you look at the total votes i dont think many people watch this show and its mostly boeing employees voting i just hope all the european nations watch this show and refuse to import any goods from those states it also just shows just how low boeing will go and who is in their pockets
