Last week, Republican Congressman, and former Majority Leader of the U.S. House
of Representatives, Tom DeLay was arrested and booked on state conspiracy and
money-laundering charges.
As if corruption at the highest level of our government isn’t
bad enough, it turns out Wal-Mart actually gave Tom Delay money 2 days after
he was indicted. That’s right. Wal-Mart made a $5,000 contribution to
support Tom Delay’s corruption 2 days after his indictment.
For a long time, we have known Wal-Mart’s policies are morally corrupt,
but now we know Wal-Mart’s politics are politically corrupt too. But,
this time, we are going to do something about it. Wal-Mart should ask Tom Delay
for its contribution to be returned immediately.
Sign the online petition calling on Wal-Mart CEO Lee Scott to insist Tom Delay
return Wal-Mart’s politically corrupt contribution today.

Wal-Mart has recently become a key player in "pay-to-play" politics.
Wal-Mart’s corporate PAC donated more than $2.7 million to federal and
state candidates in 2004, with nearly 80% of Wal-Mart’s campaign contributions
going to Republican candidates.
Wal-Mart's radical right wing agenda hurts America. Only a corrupt, right-wing
politician like Tom Delay could support Wal-Mart’s political agenda of
poverty-level wages, poor health care, weaker child labor protections and an
acceleration of shipping good-paying U.S. jobs overseas.
Don’t let Wal-Mart’s morally corrupt political agenda corrupt our
Congress. Tell Wal-Mart to stop supporting corrupt politicians like Tom Delay
today.

Our country deserves better than morally corrupt companies like Wal-Mart supporting
politically corrupt politicians like Tom Delay.
