I had heard about this through another list I'm on, and was wondering how

> Dear EmailNation Subscriber,
>
> Members of this list are used to hearing about Wal-Mart. We've been
> strongly supportive of efforts to pressure the world's wealthiest company
> to increase wages and alter business practices that are significantly
> inceasing low-wage dead-end, benefit-less jobs. We organized a public
> debate, shown on CSPAN, against The Economist magazine about Wal-Mart. We
> even started a regular web feature by Liza Featherstone called Wal-Mart
Nation.
>
> So we're very excited about the potential of Robert Greenwald's new
> documentary, "Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price," to raise more
> awareness about what's wrong with Wal-Mart and why. The film should be a
> powerful, emotional and entertaining way to help trigger change in the way
> the company conducts business in the US and across the globe.
