| Concerned Citizens Take On Wal-Mart Since Clear Channel wouldn’t publish our one billboard in Bentonville AR, we’re publishing 10,000! We produced 10,000 bumper stickers with the same message and design of the original billboard, and distributed them, free of charge, to the communities where the billboard’s message most needs to be seen. 10,000 bumper stickers have been distributed to community groups (like those featured below) working to stop Wal-Mart from coming to town and closing down small businesses. We encourage you to learn more and support their fights below. http://www.ourfuture.org/fixwalmart/ It's not buy American folk's! | |||||||||||||||||||||

| Re: Concerned Citizens Take On Wal-Mart Clear channel is the devil in disguise. --- help me Instant Runoff Voting, you're my only hope --- There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence. | |||||||||||||||||||||

| Good on ya, friend! I'll have to agree with Hev's comments about Clear Channel. \"Are we justified in using articles, no matter how convenient it may be for us to use them, that we know were produced in conditions which bored and even stultified the human beings who had to make them?\" -John Seymour | |||||||||||||||||||||

| The best way to take on WalMart is to NOT shop there. Apparently, Americans WANT to shop at WalMart. It might be a stupid thing to do, but it's obviously being done. | |||||||||||||||||||||

| Let's just shut the muther down! Out of the retail rat race Consumer group doesn't buy notion that new is better http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cg...type=printable While many people will spend countless hours this year lining up at Wal-Mart and maxing out their credit cards at Nordstrom, a small Bay Area group has declared it will do just the opposite. About 50 teachers, engineers, executives and other professionals in the Bay Area have made a vow to not buy anything new in 2006 -- except food, health and safety items and underwear. "We're people for whom recycling is no longer enough," said one of the members of the fledgling movement, John Perry, who works in marketing at a high-tech company. "We're trying to get off the first-market consumerism grid, because consumer culture is destroying the world." They call themselves the Compact. They have a blog, a Yahoo group and monthly meetings to reaffirm their commitment to the rule, which is to never buy anything new. "I didn't buy a pair of shoes today," said Compacter Shawn Rosenmoss, an engineer and a San Francisco resident of the Bernal Heights neighborhood. "They were basically a $300 pair of clodhoppers. But they were really nice and really comfortable, and I haven't bought new shoes for a while. But I didn't buy them. That's a big part of the Compact -- we show that we're not powerless over our purchasing." | |||||||||||||||||||||

The American public are often ignorant to the fact that they are shooting themselves and their fellow Americans in the foot by shopping at such a place. But these are the sorts of morals created in a capitalistic society where money is the most important factor in every decision. --- help me Instant Runoff Voting, you're my only hope --- There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond.

| I love Walmart. It's like the South Park episode, walmart has a mind of it's own. As long as prices are cheap I have no choice but to shop there. Godbless, Tadpole. “I am a Republican. I\'m loyal to the party of Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt. And I believe that my party, in some ways, has strayed from those principles, particularly on the issue of fiscal discipline.” -John McCain "Senator, when you took your oath of office, you placed your hand on the Bible and swore to uphold the Constitution. You did not place your hand on the Constitution and swear to uphold the Bible." -Jamie Raskin | |||||||||||||||||||||
