Wal-Mart Says It Will Not Make Corporate Contributions To Support Or Oppose Controversial Issues

Dear Eric,

You have made a difference! Wal-Mart has announced they "will no longer make corporate contributions to support or oppose controversial issues unless they directly relate to their ability to serve their customers." AFA is pleased with this announcement.

Wal-Mart made the announcement Tuesday afternoon.

In response to Wal-Mart's statement, AFA has decided to cancel its efforts of encouraging people to not shop at Wal-Mart or Sam's Club this Friday and Saturday.

We believe that Wal-Mart will remain neutral in cultural battles.

I got the following today from the American Family Association. I say don't shop at Wal-Mart or Sam's Club ever for a few reasons, but if that is too much of a burden, at least I urge you to do the following:

We have asked our supporters not to shop at Wal-Mart or Sam's Club this coming Friday or Saturday. Thus far nearly 400,000 families have agreed not to shop at Wal-Mart on those days. We suggest you shop with your local merchants.

Here is why we are asking you not to shop at Wal-Mart or Sam's Club this Friday or Saturday:

• Wal-Mart gave $60,000 to homosexual group to support homosexual agenda in the workplace

• Wal-Mart made a generous donation to the Northwest Arkansas Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender Community Center

• Wal-Mart sells pro-homosexual items from their website

• Wal-Mart asks for, and receives, permission to join Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce

• Wal-Mart invites homosexual ad agency to headquarters for 2-day seminar to indoctrinate employees.

• Last March, Wal-Mart chose to promote "Brokeback Mountain" video over a top-selling family-oriented film. Wal-Mart began taking advance orders of the homosexual love movie, "Brokeback Mountain." A large display greeted customers when they walked through the front doors of the store. "Brokeback Mountain" was released the same day as best selling pro-family movie, "The Chronicles of Narnia" which Wal-Mart did not promote.
