The super PAC backing President Obama raised $15 million last month, including $1 million from Sam Walton, the chairman of Wal-Mart, a traditional Republican-leaning organization.
...The overlap between campaign fundraisers and donors to the purportedly independent super PAC help illuminate the increasingly blurred line between the two types of organizations. The Supreme Court gave super PACs the green light in 2010 when it reasoned that because super PACs were supposed to be entirely separate from politicians, super PACs could not be corrupting to those politicians even if they received millions of dollars.
148 people have given $10,000 or more to the super PAC, with 19 giving $1 million or more.

hmmm...I smell a shakedown...
Need a “Like” button!
I thought Sam Walton was dead, does he have a son also named Sam?
Yes, kind of.
Samuel Robson “Rob” Walton.
I believe the story was written this way intentionally to confuse ‘low information’ voters as he is universally known as ‘Rob’ or ‘S. Robson’.
I recently set up a computer workstation in my back room.
I searched 3 different Walmarts for a computer stand/desk.
Not happy with ANY of the CRAP they had, I just built my own. Came out WAY better and cost $10 (2-2x2’s at Home Depot, some screws). Everything else was scavenged. Now painted, it even looks good.
I knew Sam well. He didn’t have a son name Samuel. His alive sons are Rob and Jim; an other son died. Maybe its a grandchild that I,m not aware of.
Dont matter. My wife (the lib) still won’t shop there.
Thanks for the response.
You are correct. She is NOT CURRENTLY a board member, but she was for a period of years, back in Arkansas.
Wonder if she has any investments in Walmart ?
