Wanna see what WalMart is up to now?
This is a link that came into me from WalMart(I have a Sam's Club Card). You can bet it is going out to all Sam's Club members.

There must be a way to combat this. Anyone with any contact with Obama's campaign should pass this on. I would think it could qualify as an in-kind contribution.

1. Since when is Walmart a "small business"?

2. Sam's Club is targeted to sell small businesses.
Ironic isn't it. America's most successful predator of some businesses has a division designed to sell to those they haven't yet killed.

3. This just looks like Sam's club is a sponsor
I always thought NFIB was a legitimate, seperate organization.

4. I was in the NFIB for awhile.
I cancelled my membership when I found out they where right wing shills.

I had a NFIB rep come into my store with all this slanderous crap about Janet Napolitano.

I threw his ass out and cancelled my membership all within about 5 minutes.

Oh yeah!

This is one creepy looking MoFo.........

5. I was in the NFIB in Arizona for a little while too and came to the same conclusion
It was so frustrating to see small business owners promote a political agenda that was so antithetical to their best interests. They would never endorse the candidate who was actually supporting small businesses and the infrastructure of the state. Instead they invariably endorsed the ones who were for tax breaks for big corps. like WalMart and Intel.

There are some good local alternatives cropping up. Are you familiar with Local First AZ? It's an organization to promote small locally owned businesses and they're getting increasingly active in politics. http://www.localfirstaz.com/support/ We need to have alternatives to the right wing anti-local Chambers and NFIB.
