Can Wal-Mart Stop Free Speech?

Stop Stomping on our Free Speech! From lawsuits against the founder of Wal-MartSucks.Com to recent legal action against walqaeda.com, Wal-mart insists on using heavy handed efforts to intimidate and silence citizen opposition. Tell Wal-Mart to stop stomping on free speech>> Read the Petition Help spread the word QUESTION: What happens when society is run by the execs from big companies, rather than citizens like you and me? ANSWER: Big companies decide when “free speech” is really free and bully anyone who opposes them into staying quiet. Take action to stop Wal-mart from silencing the opposition to its morally bankrupt practices>> http://go.care2.com/e/MAF/qH/JXLF Wal-mart spent years in court trying to bring down WalmartSucks.com, a website criticizing the giant corporation’s business practices. Now they are trying to silence opposition again. Speak up and speak out against Wal-mart's bullying ways>> http://go.care2.com/e/MAF/qH/JXLF Wal-mart executives first attempted to use legal tactics and intimidation to shut down Wal-martSucks.Com in 1998. After four years of litigation, Wal-Mart lost its attempt to silence the private citizens responsible for the site. This has not stopped Wal-mart from trying again. Now, Wal-mart has turned its resources and lawyers on a site called walqaeda.com. The site featured artwork critical of Wal-mart’s business practices, and company executives are determined to make sure this artwork is never seen. Free speech - on the Internet and off - is critical to us all. Send a letter to Wal-Mart telling them to stop stomping on free speech>> http://go.care2.com/e/MAF/qH/JXLF With appreciation, Michael Lawley, Care2 and ThePetitionSite team
