Default Don't let Wal-Mart off the hook!

Hi,

You've got to check this out. Wal-Mart is telling its employees how to
vote in the upcoming election.

http://action.americanrightsatwork.o...lMart_followup

Apparently Wal-Mart has been holding mandatory meetings with
supervisors, threatening them that if they vote for pro-worker
candidates like Barack Obama in November, the Employee Free Choice Act
will pass, making it easier to form unions in Wal-Mart stores.

This is potentially illegal, and grassroots groups have demanded that
the Federal Election Commission investigate, but the FEC hasn't said
whether they'll move forward!

I don't think anyone should be told by their boss how to vote. So I
just signed a petition, urging the FEC to take action. You can too,
he

Big tadoo over nothing. All unions tell their members how to vote, so
it's not just Walmart doing this.
Once you get inside the booth, just vote the way you want.
