Wal-Mart is the primary sponsor of Good Morning America’s “Only in America” series, which highlights patriotic, apple pie American stories. The “Only in America” web page is essentially a bogus Wal-Mart ad attempting to tie the corporation with a Made in America image.
What’s next? A series called “Healthy Living” sponsored by Phillip Morris. Please sign the petition (link below) and hold ABC News and Wal-Mart accountable.

The UFCW is also planning a demonstration outside Good Morning America’s studio in New York City tomorrow (Tuesday, March 29th) at 6:30am. Local union activists and Congressman Anthony Weiner will be at 44th and Broadway to let ABC News know that we will not allow them to wrap Wal-Mart in their flag.
Only 5 years ago, Wal-Mart had to abandon its “Made in the USA” and “Bring it Home to the USA” campaigns because Dateline exposed them as blatantly misleading and false. And now, Wal-Mart comes up with this.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Ex. Going to sign the petition now.
Same here. And sending it to my friends. The fight against Wal-Mart is one of my passions … I’ve said this before, but will repeat it: If every single person who voted for John Kerry did not shop at Wal-Mart, we could begin to positively affect the culture, labor priorities, and economics of this country.
Thanks so much, ex, for your work on this.
Signed the petition-thanks for making me aware of the link. I know I’ve signed quite a few pertaining to Wal-Mart.
Wal-mart encapsulates everything that is wrong with big business/slave labor(here and in china), poverty wages, lack of health care, sexism, destroying jobs and other businesses in communities where wal-mart builds, this list goes on/on.
