Well that is about the only good thing they are doing lately.

We are so upset with their recent support of gay-lesbian marriages and financial support of Planned Parenthood

Leslie,

Sometimes you just want to cry -- first they partner with the gays/lesbians (see Urban Legends article here) then they say they will allow "Christmas" to be spoken.

Sounds like they're trying to be all things to all people....

Gwen,

I am so sorry for not responding sooner. For some reason your email did not show up?

As per your request... you have to be a member of "Life Decisions International (LDI)" which publishes an extremely well-researched, up-to-date list of companies that are pursuing policies that undermine the culture of life.

In their most recent publication Wal-Mart had been added to the list . They have recently given a substantial donation to Planned Parenthood.

They are asking everyone who has time to please contact Walmart and also to consider limiting your business with them in the very near future. It is the experience of LDI that if action is swift, decisive and early, companies will respond. Please send an email voicing your opinion to: H. Lee Scott, Jr., President, Director, and CEO, at www.walmart.com or www.walmartstores.com.    Also, please mention that you know of this through LDI. Often a company will send a response to you trying to explain, weasel or soften their actions, but they know that they cannot buffalo LDI.

One more thing--if you would like the full list of companies, visit their website at http://www.fightpp.org/. I cannot publish the list because there are strict rules against it. (If a company changes its policies, they don't want negative information to remain circulating about the company.)

HTH
