OUTRAGED! Outraged: How Detroit And The Wall Street Car Czars Killed The American Dream Date: Wednesday, November 7th  Time: 7:00 p.m.  Location: Meeting Room Outraged provides an account of what it means to lose your rights, property, and, in essence, the American dream. It begins with roughly two thousand men and women whose businesses were destroyed by two automakers, General Motors and Chrysler, during their government-led corporate restructurings in 2009. See the collapse of the American dream from the perspective of an entrepreneur who was affected by the automotive industry bailout. Outraged details the founding of the activist group Committee to Restore Dealer Rights and its efforts to regain the economic rights of auto dealerships throughout the United States. It tells how they took their fight to Congress and to the steps of the White House. Outraged candidly examines the battles between dealers and the entities that engineered their demise. It also details the pain and the high points in government as its temporary power brokers ignore the significant role of Congress in lawmaking and the rights of ordinary citizens. This personal, controversial account shows what can happen when people unite in a common cause and stand up for what they believe is right. Come and delve into the auto industry and its bailout with Outraged co-author Lillie Guyer, who is an automotive journalist based in Detroit.
