I just saw on Fox news that Walmart sales for yesterday were down 10%, but they did not report why, but I think I know why. I got this email from the AFA on Nov 21 of 2006.

Send A Message To Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club, Don’t Shop With Them This Friday Or Saturday
Dear Michael,
We have asked our supporters not to shop at Wal-Mart or Sam’s Club this coming Friday or Saturday. Thus far nearly 400,000 families have agreed not to shop at Wal-Mart on those days. We suggest you shop with your local merchants.
Here is why we are asking you not to shop at Wal-Mart or Sam’s Club this Friday or Saturday:
Wal-Mart gave $60,000 to homosexual group to support homosexual agenda in the workplace
Wal-Mart made a generous donation to the Northwest Arkansas Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender Community Center
Wal-Mart sells pro-homosexual items from their website
Wal-Mart asks for, and receives, permission to join Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce
Wal-Mart invites homosexual ad agency to headquarters for 2-day seminar to indoctrinate employees.
Last March, Wal-Mart chose to promote “Brokeback Mountain” video over a top-selling family-oriented film. Wal-Mart began taking advance orders of the homosexual love movie, “Brokeback Mountain.” A large display greeted customers when they walked through the front doors of the store. “Brokeback Mountain” was released the same day as best selling pro-family movie, “The Chronicles of Narnia” which Wal-Mart did not promote.

This shows just how much power the AFA does have.
Well you sent me running to Snopes (http://www.snopes.com)to see if this was an “urban legend” which it had all of the earmarks of. Sad to say Snopes confirms the story is indeed true. Walmart has become the 800 pound gorilla of the corporate world and I have to admit I am somewhat surprised at where they are putting their weight.
