Lets put those who belong in the red, IN THE RED...
Edited on Fri Jan-21-05 02:05 PM by FromTheLeft
I am proposing a bit of passive resistance that may make a bit more of an impact than one day of no shopping, I am calling for a Month long ban of Wal-Mart, who was the number 11 donor to the republicans campaign last year.

I sent out an email to my friends and family yesterday that I know has already been moved along to over 1000 people. Of course I don't know if any of them will participate but If you want to know more send me an email at fromtheleft42@yahoo.com. It is an email address I set up just for this and I have a form email that I am sending out to all interested parties. If you have any questions, post them here. I won't have time to go through all of the emails to that account, I will just be replying with the form email.

4. I do too, but it's very difficult for others...
who don't have much of a choice! Welcome to the boycott, even if it is only for a month or whatever you can do!

9. So do I
But the point of this is to open others eyes, A group of my friends where totally surprised that Wal-Mart had given as much as they did to the Repubs. Information Dissemination is the name of the Game.

8. I've been forced to work for them twice, and they seriously are the Devil.
Just the way they demonize unions is disgraceful.
