I was talking about specific issues, but yes, it is true that corporate America gives more to Republicans (which is not necessarily the same as supporting conservatism) than it does to Democrats, but that gap has narrowed quite a bit, hasn't it?
One issue in particular that comes to mind for me is that of racial preferences, and how basically the entire Michigan corporate community lined up against the measure banning them that passed with 58% of the vote last week.
So far this month, I've spent about $125 at Walmart. $150 last month. In fact, that's about average.
What conservative causes are those?
I think this petition is a good idea. A two day boycott during the busiest two day of the year should send a message to WalMart.
This organization is definitely for gay marriage as you can see throughout the website. I wonder if they are using donation money for political causes. I wonder if this organization is using any of it's money as a PAC to further gay marriage?
Page 6 is about WalMarts commitment.

This organization definitely pushes same sex marriage besides workplace equality.

WalMart was a sponsor of their summit this year. Page 3 & page 11 &page 69

Below is the petition. All you are agreeing to is a two day boycott.

Dear President Scott,
This will let you know that I will not be shopping at Wal-Mart or Sam's Club on the Friday or Saturday following Thanksgiving.
Your decision to financially support groups promoting homosexual marriage is very unfortunate. You could have remained neutral but decided to join the battle on the side of homosexual activist organizations.
With great disappointment, I will help spread the word to my friends and family about your decision.
It is not just this one ad.
If you look on page 3

WalMart is listed as a PLENARY SPONSOR. This is evidently higher that a Platinum, Gold, Bronze, and Friend Sponsor.

You ask of #16, please go back and read #13.
I let my girlfriend give it to me, once-in-while, dose that mean I can get money also? How about job search assistance,does this mean i’m ? Not even close,but i feel like i am,so; how about funds to help me blend in with the community? The same feeling i get when i role play as a prostitute a broke one!!
