**Mr. Sam Walton is reported to have said, “Each Wal-Mart store should reflect the values of its customers and support the vision they hold for their community.” The heirs of Mr. Sam can, if you act right now, make available the products of American workers to the communities of America so our communities can put their money where their values are.**

I admit to knowing little or nothing on the Waltons and the store. From what little I’ve read, Sam was a promoter of Made-in-USA...and his heirs were the ones who sold out that philosophy.

**That was right after Hillary Clinton was on the Walmart board of directors for 6 years.

She left in 1992. Coincidentally (?) Sam Walton died the same year.

In 1993, Bill Clinton became the president and put NAFTA into effect, and opened free trade with China.

That’s when the Made in USA motto was replaced with “Watch for falling prices,” with workers shown wearing hard hats in advertisements. Made in China products replaced Made in USA products on Walmart shelves**
