Wal-Mart Contributes 5% Of Online Sales To Homosexual Group
Sign the pledge not to shop at Wal-Mart or Sam's Club on the Friday and Saturday following Thankgiving
Help recruit 1,000,000 to agree to not shop at Wal-Mart or Sam's Club (owned by Wal-Mart) on the Friday and Saturday following Thanksgiving. Here's why:
In a show of support to help homosexuals legalize same-sex marriage, Wal-Mart has agreed to automatically donate 5% of online sales directly to the Washington DC Community Center for Gay, Lesbian Bisexual and Transgender People. The cash donation will come from ALL online purchases made at Wal-Mart through the homosexual group's Web site. This move follows Wal-Mart's joining the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce and agreeing to give generous financial help to that group.
Every purchase made online for books, music, videos, clothing and accessories, children's clothing and toys, and electronics at the site will automatically send 5% of the sales to the homosexual group.
With this agreement, Wal-Mart made clear their support for the homosexual movement was a total commitment to the cause.
Many observers feel it would have been a wise business decision for Wal-Mart to remain neutral in the cultural battle over homosexual marriage. But this was an ideological decision by Wal-Mart, not a business decision. Wal-Mart decided to give the promotion of homosexual marriage their full support.
Take Action
1. Sign the petition to Wal-Mart letting them know you will be one of the 1,000,000 who will not shop at Wal-Mart or Sam's Club on the Friday or Saturday following Thanksgiving. Click here.

Ping!
Source for the Walmart donation? This sounds like a hoax.
I bet you that a substantial percentage of the HR people in Walmart are homosexual...and in addition, some key decision makers are probably in the closet and subject to blackmail.
That combination will lead to decisions that are not in the company's interest.
Or you could not buy things through the homosexual group's Web site?
Does the AFA realize that this homosexual group is going to get even more publicity because of this news release? This is just dumb.
Assuming this is true, does Wal-Mart have similar agreements with other organizations. Could a church or fraternal organization get 5% of the business they pass through to Wal-Mart?
But where else are we going to buy our Wal-Mart goods, if not through the homosexual web sites that we all frequent every time we want to shop?

yep...we should do nothing...let the money roll into the enemy coffers.
This doesn't pass the smell test. I'd like to see this group provide a source for their claims.
I could care less. The American Family Association doesn't sell anybody groceries.
looking at that long list, you would be hard pressed to shop anywhere without that qualification
Tell the truth now, NY'er.
They will pay a commission of 5% for any on line sales from the groups web site. The way you say it, it sounds like Wal Mart is giving away 5% of their entire on line sales.
Wal Mart also gives a hell of a lot of money, support, and material to the boy scouts.
A mass retailer subsidizing non-breeders? Pretty funny, if true.
