1. I hate that f*cking place.

No problem! I love your avatar. Just wanted you to know that it puts a smile on my face almost every time that I see it. Thanks for that. We can use all of the smiles we can get, right?

Peace.

7. Check out alternatives at www.buyblue.org

This is a pretty good site (although you need to read the details to get the true picture of how "red" or "blue" a company is) that rates companies by their political contributions.

9. here in florida, when jeb bush's AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT and their

contracted PRIVATE TREE CUTTERS ASPLUNDH come to cut your cankered citrus tree (WHETHER THEY ARE CANKERED OR NOT) they wash their hands of their offense against the tree by giving the tree owners a certificate for $100.00 to SPEND AT WAL-MART and an additional certifcate for $50.00 for each additional citrus tree that they eradicate from your property.

When the ERADICATION TREE ENFORCER CAME AROUND AND SAID WE HAD TO SIGN THEIR RELEASE AND CONSENT FORM FOR THE STATE TO COME AND CUT THE TREE , and that they would give us a $100. Wal-Mart Certificate for the first tree and an additional $50. Certifact for every tree thereafter, I told him that Jeb Bush could stash his dirty money in his big fat cojones.

the man looked at me, smiled, and said "I used to be a law enforcement agent. I've heard worse than that" ....

15. I don't even have kids but I did it anyway

Walmart stands for so much I despise, if I had to do back to school shopping I'd avoid doing it there even if it was the only store in a 50-mile radius.

EVER.

[pstans]

17. Haven't shopped at Wal Mart for over a year

and I give my mom a hard time about it when she shops there. When my wife shops at Wal Mart, I try and do something to support Progressive causes. Last time, she went there I donated to IRenew (http://www.irenew.org) and Thousand Friends of Iowa (http://www.kfoi.org).

[One_of_8]

29. Done, but got "unreachable" message

As another poster above me.

Your pledge has been forwarded to Wal-Mart CEO Lee Scott.

Sending your message to:
x CEO & Chairman Lee Scott was unreachable. Please download and mail letter.

So I'll print and mail it as well. I think if the CEO received a truckload of snail mail, that might make an impression on his pointy head.

I haven't shopped at Wal-Mart in years, and solemnly swear I will never shop there, as long as they continue with their current business practices. Fortunately, I have lots of other choices nearby, such as a new Cosco about 1.5 miles from my office. I also buy a lot of new and nearly new clothing on e-Bay.

[NoSheep]

30. Haven't shopped there since the last stolen "election".

[katinmn]

31. Done. Looks like they had to close Scott's email address!

Imagine he was getting deluged with emails.

Good. Just print it and mail it. They can't stop us that easily.:)
