We saw the movie “WalMart”, and we highly recommend that you see it if you can! The information that the movie provided was very eye-opening.

After learning about:

- all the lawsuits that are filed against WalMart
- all the crimes, murders, rapes and robberies in their parking lot
- the subsidies that they are getting from our government (our tax money!)
- the number of employees on Government assistance
- their discriminations against women, people with disabilities and african-americans
- their practices negatively impacting the environment
- their negative impact on communities, families, cities and more,

I not only urge you to watch this movie and STOP shopping at WalMart, but I refuse to take, eat, or use any product that was bought there. I know, you think this might be a little freaky of me, but if we really boycott this store with all our means, your friends won’t brag anymore about that inexpensive necklace or the new bag that they bought at WalMart, because they will realize that they should be ashamed to go shopping there.

BUY LOCALLY TO SUPPORT YOUR COMMUNITY, ENVIRONMENT, AND OUR FUTURE GENERATION!

O.k. I’m off the soap-box. Check out where the movie is playing and invite all the friends, family members and neighbors that you know. AND DON’T SHOP WALMART!

Here is a little synopsis:

WAL-MART: THE HIGH COST OF LOW PRICE is a feature length documentary that uncovers a retail giant’s assault on families and American values. The film dives into the deeply personal stories and everyday lives of families and communities struggling to fight a goliath. A working mother is forced to turn to public assistance to provide healthcare for her two small children. A Missouri family loses its business after Wal-Mart is given over $2 million to open its doors down the road. A mayor struggles to equip his first responders after Wal-Mart pulls out and relocates just outside the city limits. A community in California unites, takes on the giant, and wins! Producer/Director Robert Greenwald and Brave New Films take you on an extraordinary journey that will change the way you think, feel — and shop.
