Make WalMart Hate Holidays

I've been bopping around blogtopia and I haven't seen many pretty pink banners reminding people to stay away from WalMart this Mother's Day.  I got my banner here, from WakeUpWalmart, the people behind the holiday boycott idea.

If you need a push to grab the banner for your site - and to download the flyers you can share with your neighbors, which would be equally important - climb in my wayback machine and read what WalMart said last year after their June numbers were bad: (from AOL News)

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. lowered its forecast Monday for June sales growth at stores open at least a year to a range of 2 percent to 4 percent, citing cool weather and disappointing Father's Day results.

The world's largest retailer said Monday during its weekly sales update that key categories were flat this year as compared to last year, when it had its best week of the summer

Now, I didn't buy that explanation then and instead attributed the bad sales to the bad press WalMart was pulling in.  But I say for however long it takes, we make their cover story a reality.   Boycott on Mother's Day, Memorial Day, Father's Day, the Fourth of July, Back to School, Labor Day (of course), Halloween (that will really hurt) ... you get the idea.

It starts this Mother's Day.  Get. On. Board.

Okay. I'm. On. Board.

You really don't have to tell me not to shop there, but I do know that some of my readers (i.e. extended family members) do.
