Immediately after originally seeing the Volt concept in January 2007, Dennis launched <a href=\"http:\/\/gm-volt.com\/2008\/11\/14\/gm-voltcom-letter-to-the-us-government\/\">GM-Volt.com<\/a>. Ever since then he and his readers have been cheerleaders for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/category\/gm\/\">GM&#x27;s<\/a> extended-range <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/electric\/\">EV<\/a>. Dennis set up a waiting list for people to register their interest in the car, and over 45,000 people have signed up. With the financial crisis that&#x27;s engulfing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/category\/gm\/\">General Motors<\/a> right now, the Volt has remained the only upcoming product that <a href=\"http:\/\/green.autoblog.com\/2008\/11\/07\/chevy-volt-program-shelved-absolutely-not\/\">hasn&#x27;t seen its development dollars cut yet<\/a>. However, even though the engineering teams are still working on the Volt, the car is ultimately dependent on the survival of the company as a whole. Lyle Dennis wants to maker sure that GM, and thus the Volt, survive. To that end he has written a letter targeted at President Bush, Congress and Treasury secretary Henry Paulson urging them to provide financial aid to GM as soon as possible. If you&#x27;re interested in expressing your support you can print out the letter from the site, sign it and send it to your representatives.<\/p>\n<p>[Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/gm-volt.com\/2008\/11\/14\/gm-voltcom-letter-to-the-us-government\/\">GM-Volt<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2008\/11\/14\/gm-volt-founder-pens-open-letter-in-support-of-gm-aid-package\/<\/p>\n<p>2008-11-14T11:11:00+00:00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Perhaps one of the biggest fans on the planet of the Chevrolet Volt is Dr. Lyle Dennis, a New York city neuro-surgeon.
