Anybody want to start some major shit? Wal-Mart Alert

[Dr.Phool]

Wal-mart is planning on building two (2) Supercenters in my neighborhood in Florida. There are already 3 within a 10-15 minute drive from me.

Ain't gonna happen. I'm planning on starting a major offensive to block them. I plan on running a very dirty, Karl Rove style campaign against them. I think I have an idea to split them from their customer base. I talked to a few people (Unions) today, about getting some funding, and I'm planning on talking to some Congressmen next month about opening a congressional investigation into violations of the Sherman Anti-trust Act.

I'd like to get started soon, and would like to take this national.

I'm looking for volunteers and advice. Feel free to send me a private message or e-mail.

1. Good for you!

Walmart is a blight on Mom and Pop operations. They wish to do away with American enteprenuers by selling cheap Chinese goods paid by slave wages to the Chinese. We need to take a stand.

[strategery blunder]

2. Some stuff for your Rovian guerrila campaign

Wal-Mart supports forced abortion

Scroll down a little bit.

Have Fun:evilgrin:

[LiberalAndProud]

3. redirecting inertia ...

Excellent phraseology and brilliant tactic.

4. WalMart finances Forced Abortions.

The abortion thing is an issue that is selling with the fundies.

Through its business arrangements with China, WalMart is enriching a Communist Government that mandates abortions. I would love to see Fallwell and the Repub congress critters forced to take a position on WalMart's relationship with forced abortionists.

In fact, local WalMart pickets should get some of those gruesome fetus pictures that the cristoFascists use when attacking PlannedParenthood clinics.

Money spent at Wal-Mart is used to KILL God's Children!!

Do you want an ABORTION STORE in YOUR neighborhood?

You know those RePubs would squirm if their wallet is on the abortion table.

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. This is anywhere from good to brilliant

After all these folks are pro fetus, but Walmart stuck with the stigma

I like it...

I like it.

Will also send teh whole pro fetus - pro children (New term for pro choice) debate go down into a nasty spin...

[NuttyFluffers]

7. oooh! pro-fetus -- pro-children! i like that!

and ain't it the truth?

gonna have to remember that one in big neon letters.

[Dr.Phool]

6. My plans exactly!!!

[SammyWinstonJack]

10. But repukes are HYPOCRITES

So shopping at Sprawl Mart, a US corp. that does business in a Country that has mandatory abortion probably won't bother them. I'm sure they'll have no problem making the disconnect between that and their wallets.

[nostamj]

11. repukes concerned about less NON-WHITE babies?

you're joking, of course.

it's only brightwhite christian babies born to praise naturalblond Jebuss that matter

[J-Lo Biafra]

15. Wow..how inconsistent of them!

Of course, the fudies would never bite the hand that feeds them. That's what makes them such dangerous hypocrites.

"Blow them away, in the name of the Lord..." :eyes:

9. KICK!

[freedom rings]

12. 3,500 stores

Good luck. Walmart has over 3,500 stores in America so far. That tells me 3,499 attempts to stop them have failed.

14. we killed on here in Inglewood CA

RAH RAH RAH for the people of So Cal!

[Mandate My Ass]

18. It's the ones that don't exist that determine the success of the efforts

You have not taken account of the number of successful suits and zoning ordnances that prevented WalMarts from infiltrating a community. You're making the huge and false assumption that all of the existing stores were challenged and won.

But I guess you knew that. ;-)

Welcome to DU.

[Stinky The Clown]

19. Half a kill here ... got the damned WalMart but no Sam's Club ... and

.... the WalMart parking lot is never ever, ever more than 1/4 full. And nope, they didn't build the lot large enough to accommodate a later Sam's Club addition. It simply gets crappy business.

[mitchtv]

20. Major loss here in Palm Springs -Freeperville

they will then fuck up Cathedral City and close their regular W and Sam's club and move the tax base to the richer city

[JNelson6563]

21. We stopped them here in Michigan

They have a store here and a Sam's Club. They wanted another at the other end of town. We stopped 'em in their tracks. We organized and wouldn't let the zoning rules be changed for them. Key player was an 81 year old man who was a union organizer that worked with Walter Ruether.

24. Gotta love those old guys!

(said by a nearly old guy!)

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

23. And that makes you happy... or unhappy?

I've yet to see you offer an opinion that could be even remotely construed as "liberal".

[politicat]

25. We've kept it out of Boulder, CO.

And there are only two in the county, both of which are in the old, small formats and were built before they became the Evil Empire.

It can be done with a mobilized community.

13. Scandal: Wal-Mart, P&G Involved in Secret RFID Testing

http://www.spychips.com/press-releases/broken-arrow.html

Wal-Mart and Procter & Gamble conducted a secret RFID trial involving Oklahoma consumers earlier this year, the Chicago Sun Times revealed on Sunday. Customers who purchased P&G's Lipfinity brand lipstick at the Broken Arrow Wal-Mart store between late March and mid-July unknowingly left the store with live RFID tracking devices embedded in the packaging. Wal-Mart had previously denied any consumer-level RFID testing in the United States. 

"It proves what we've been saying all along," says Katherine Albrecht, Founder and Director of Consumers Against Supermarket Privacy Invasion and Numbering (CASPIAN). "Wal-Mart, Procter & Gamble and others have experimented on shoppers with controversial spy chip technology and tried to cover it up. Consumers and members of the press should be upset to learn that they've been lied to." 

The Sun Times also reported that a live video camera trained on the shelf allowed Procter & Gamble employees, sometimes hundreds of miles away, to observe the Lipfinity display and consumers interacting with it.

16. #8 WalMart

5th Supercenter is being built right now within a 15 mile radius of where I live. It would be #9 (6th Supercenter) but the people of Mt. Pleasant made them go away.

Of course, we have practically nothing left in this area for WM alternatives.

[recoveringrepublican]

17. Where in Florida? They are building one near me also, or trying to

I'm in Pinellas.

26. Start at CITY HALL since they're the ones who will do the voting on

it.

Look up how Walmart failed in southern california, in compton or inglewood... one or the other.
