Hello
Now that Cash for Clunkers has used up its funding I thought you might be interested in some information on car donation. Your readers can still donate a car right now and get a tax write off and help a charity. We also offer you a commission of $100 per car donation referral when you add a link to http://www.donatecarusa.com . All you do is add a link and we cut you a check. Call me or email for more information. It would be great to offer your readers the car donation option and for you to receive the usual $100 advertising share (instead of Google or the newspapers).
Besides costing taxpayers $3 Billion dollars, cash for clunkers cost auto repair shops and car donation charities a lot of revenue.
