They are asking that we help spread the word about Wal-Mart.
I did a search on PurpleOcean.org and it seems to be legit, but I was wondering if any of you are familiar with this organization. Especially check out the bolded text in the email snippet I posted below..
Sounds like a good plan. What do you think?
Wal-Mart has come under fire in recent years for low pay, poor benefits, and alleged sexual discrimination.
Last month Wal-Mart, the largest company in the world, launched a million-dollar advertising campaign attempting to silence critics who point out facts like that in 2001 the average Wal-Mart clerk made just $8.23 an hour - below the federal poverty line for a family of three.
It's time to start spreading the real facts: Wal-Mart is big, but they can't outrun the truth.
Invite your friends to view the facts and become part of PurpleOcean.org, then see who accepted your invitations on an animated map that tracks your fact sheet as it spreads across the country.
Start the chain by passing on the facts, then see how from day-to-day, your individual influence spreads the word.
If you're one of the first 25 people whose chain grows to 500, then you'll receive $1,000 towards your health insurance expenses - or, if you already have health insurance, we'll put it into a fund that will help provide health insurance for Wal-Mart workers who can't afford it.
