The Walton Family's Influence | How Wal-Mart's owners influence American politics

Tell your friends about the Walton Family's political influence

Wal-Mart’s influence around the country is getting out of control. As the largest American corporation, Wal-Mart is able to leverage its money and size into political influence that affects its suppliers - and more importantly - state and federal government.

The American people need to stand up and demand that our government “of the people, by the people and for the people” doesn’t become “of Wal-Mart, by Wal-Mart and for Wal-Mart.”

Wal-Mart has too much control over our government
Hey,

Wal-Mart Watch just launched a new website called WaltonInfluence.com that you need to check out.

The new site explains just how much power Wal-Mart actually has over our state and federal governments. This year alone, the company is spending $3.58 million to lobby Congress and it has already donated over $2 million to federal candidates. These numbers are astronomical and are giving the corporation much more political power than citizens like you and me.

Take a second now to go to the site and see if your Representative or Senators are receiving money from Wal-Mart, and how much they are getting. It's definitely worth a few minutes of your time.
