THIS IS THE MOVIE WALMART DOES NOT WANT YOU TO SEE * Forces its own workers to labor "off the clock" without pay. * Uses overseas sweatshop labor to manufacture its corporate brand clothing. * Sells knock-off and counterfeit merchandise that misleads and confuses its customers. * Destroys acres of environmentally sensitive lands to build new Wal-Marts, close to existing Wal-Marts that will be closed. * Has eliminated all competition in many towns across the U.S. by illegally lowering prices below wholesale. * Has forced the movement of thousands of manufacturing jobs out of the U.S. * Calls "full-time" 28 hours per week and pays wages so low that many of its employees qualify ? and accept ? welfare payments. * Demands millions of dollars in tax breaks to locate in communities all over the U.S., while it earns billions of dollars in profits.

URGENT ALERT: WAL-MART TO BEGIN ITEM-LEVEL TAGGING CLOTHING WITH RFID
YOUR HELP IS NEEDED! PLEASE JOIN US IN OPPOSING WAL-MART'S RFID PLANS
Dear CASPIAN Members and Supporters,
Today the Wall Street Journal broke an enormous story: Wal-Mart, the
nation's largest retailer, has declared war on our privacy. The giant
retailer has announced it will begin placing item-level RFID (Radio
Frequency IDentification) tracking tags on clothing sold in its stores.
THIS IS HUGE NEWS. It is the first step to the planned roll-out of the
Internet of Things, where global corporations like IBM, Procter &
Gamble, and Wal-Mart's technology partner NCR plan to equip every
product with a tracking device and use a network of RFID readers to
monitor and observe YOU everywhere you go. It is the frightening world
detailed in our book "Spychips: How Major Corporations and Government
Plan to Track Your Every Move with RFID," and it is finally coming to
pass.
Unless we stop it, Wal-Mart's roll-out is scheduled to begin next month.
Here is the Wall Street Journal article:

And here is a WSJ poll where you can make your views known (today only):
http://online.wsj.com/community/groups/question-day-229/topics/do-you-have-privacy-concerns
As you know, RFID is a powerful tracking technology that raises
unprecedented privacy concerns. Wal-Mart's plan does more than just
threaten our privacy -- it is poised to become a direct threat to our
freedom and civil liberties, as I will describe in future emails.
It is imperative that we immediately act to oppose Wal-Mart's RFID
rollout. I have placed calls and given Wal-Mart an opportunity to
respond, but as of this afternoon, Wal-Mart corporate executives and
media representatives have not returned my calls.
In the meantime, we are formulating a response to Wal-Mart's plans that
will protect consumers. I will keep you posted on this breaking story.
