Dear Friend,You may not know this, but Wal-Mart’s right-wing agenda is nothing to smile about. Despite spending $1.6 billion to promote its ‘smiley face’ image to the public, in the last year, Wal-Mart has joined other big, powerful corporations and lobbied directly against the best interests of the American people.
You can help change Wal-Mart and change America for the better this election season by going to www.TurnTheFrownUpsideDown.com.
Here are a few examples of Wal-Mart’s extreme agenda on some of the issues I care most about:
1) Health Care for All - Wal-Mart opposed expanding health care to working families and their children.
2) Raising Wages - Wal-Mart opposed a living wage ordinance which would have required profitable corporations like Wal-Mart to pay $10 per hour.
3) Protecting American Jobs - Wal-Mart lobbied for trade agreements that are used to ship good-paying, middle class American jobs to Communist China.
4) National Security - Wal-Mart’s special interest group lobbied Congress against strengthening port security, leaving America more vulnerable to another terrorist attack.
We need to defeat Wal-Mart’s right-wing agenda this November. Please go to www.TurnTheFrownUpsideDown.com.
I hope you will join me, and 276,000 other Americans in supporting a political agenda which puts “America’s Families First,” not powerful corporations like Wal-Mart.
Thank you,
