- Petition on Wal-Mart Corporate propaganda. Wal-Mart, which imports between 50 and 85 percent of its merchandise, is trying to boost sales by draping itself in the American flag. The retail giant has purchased sponsorship rights to a segment on ABC's Good Morning America called "Only in America." The move is part of a long-standing propaganda campaign by the company to mislead consumers into believing Wal-Mart reflects American values and favors American-made products. In fact, "80 percent of the six thousand factories in Wal-Mart's worldwide database of suppliers are in China." If Wal-Mart were a country "it would be China's fifth-largest export market, ahead of Germany and Great Britain." Ted Fishman, in his recent book China Inc., notes, "Wal-Mart's growth as an economic force is inseparable from China's rise as a manufacturing giant ... no company has been a bigger catalyst in pushing American ... manufactures to China." It's time to stop the deception. Sign the petition demanding ABC drop Wal-Mart as a sponsor of its "Only in America" series.
