Tell Congressman Bishop: NO to Wal-Mart
Dear Daniel,
Please forward this email to all of your friends and family in Georgia.
Congressmen from Georgia should not be accepting money from corporate special interests like Wal-Mart
This morning, Wal-Mart hosted a breakfast fundraiser "honoring" Congressman Sanford D. Bishop Jr. (D-GA). WakeUpWalMart.com staff and volunteers greeted the Congressman and the funders - $1,000 PAC donors and $500 individual donors were invited - at Wal-Mart DC location on 575 7th Street, NW with signs, flyers and protestors.
WakeUpWalMart.com supporters were wondering why a Democratic Congressman from Georgia would take money from Wal-Mart. In your home state of Georgia, more than 10,261 children - 6.2 % of all children in the state - enrolled in PeachCare for Kids, the states health care program for low income children, had parents working for Wal-Mart. PeachCare coverage for Wal-Mart employees children costs state taxpayers $10 million per year.
Please call or write Congressman Bishop today to ask him to send back Wal-Mart's money so that he can remain free from corporate special interests and make companies like Wal-Mart pay their fair share for health care.
Bishop is a Georgia politician and a member of the United States Appropriations Committee, a committee that in its 2005 oversight plan stated that it "intends to have an active and productive Congress, reviewing both ongoing governmental activities and analyzing the Budget requests in order to reflect the priorities of the American people." America's working people deserve health care. Georgian children deserve health care. We don't need politicians taking money from Wal-Mart, particularly those who have a role in determining our budget priorities.
Call or write Congressman Bishop today. If you are near his office, you might also want to pay his staff a personal visit to express your concerns.
