Anyone have suggestions for how to stop WalMart from building in my city? I know other places have done it!
Where can I get some current, concise stats that I can use in leafletts, letters to the editor, etc. to convince this city that Wal Mart will be it's downfall?

exlain to them that walmart represents everything that is wrong with this country. by spending money there you are slowly killing your own local community. companies like walmart are putting all the small businesses in the area they are in out of business. mom & pop shops can't really compete with corporate giants with their importation of cheap goods from china as far as pricing cuz they won't make any profit. in other words, this corporate monopoly is making it harder and harder to be a middle-class small business owner.
but walmart is like the worst of the worst because it's a greedy anti-union company that has been proven many a time to try to make a profit using its own employees health benefits. especially 1 disturbing case where they had taken out life insurance policies on their employees and made walmart the beneficiary! the insurance program at walmart is a fraud and intended to discriminate against whole groups of people & take advantage of the public welfare/medicaid so they don't have to provide those services. their deductables are $350 to $1,000 for a single doctors visit. a walmart worker could end up paying about 45% of their salary before seeing a single benefit. everyone rightfully got on walmart's case after it was statistically shown that their health insurance package managed to effect medicaid and health insurance for THE ENTIRE COUNTRY because of all the people who work there who received welfare, food stamps and public health care.
walmart also uses many other tactics to grow and profit at the taxpayer's expense. many, if not most or all, walmart stores are built with bonds that are issued by the local community. in other words you get to pay for it to be built!! and they pay no property taxes. and unfortunately many competitors have had to follow the model to keep up.
all of the information i wrote here is factual. just google "walmart insurance scam" or "walmart abusing medicaid" stuff like that. or the top 10 richest people in america list... you'll see all of the waltons on there. i also used to steal from walmart and donate all the products to charities.

Google, if there are any.
I grew up in the kind of rural area where just about every town has one. Do you know which towns are struggling? The ones that are too small to support a Wal-Mart. The WM-having towns are the only ones that thrive!

Jimmy Carter will grow to be the Antichrist aka Dajjal (8th King in Rev. 17) and he will serve yet another term in place of work after the dying of Obama (seventh king). The angel Gabriel instructed me in Aug. 1973 while i replaced into in Phillipsbrug, Montana that Jimmy Carter will grow to be the Anti-Christ, and that he is going to alter his call, and divorce his spouse! Obama is going to die first and then the Anti-Christ aka Dajjal who replaced into between the previous 7 Presidents will take his place! Rev. 17:10 And there are seven kings: 5 are fallen, and one is, [and] the different isn't yet come; and while he cometh, he ought to proceed a quick area. All 7 kings have been all alive till the dying of Ronald Reagan June 5, 2004 while George W. Bush replaced into in place of work ; a million. Gerald Ford 2. Jimmy Carter 3. Ronald Reagan 4. George H. W. Bush 5. bill Clinton 6. George W. Bush.... is spoken of interior the present annoying (and one is) by way of fact till Reagan died (June 5, 2004) all 7 have been alive! 7. Barack Obama.......and one is yet to return! he will die some days after he will boost taxes! Obama is likewise in Dan. 11:20 Then shall upward push up in his materials a raiser of taxes [in] the admire of the dominion: yet interior few days he would be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in conflict. Rev. 17:11 And the beast that replaced into, and isn't any longer, even he's the 8th, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

Get together on line and get a petition going.
If you Google "Walmart" you'll get some great (and not so great) information. Do some research and find out how the others have stopped the evil demon WM.

Tell them that Walmart is going to go out of business because they don't sell walls. :D
