Walmart: Don't donate to politicians who pander to white supremacists!
Pledge not to give any more money to House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, or any other politician with a record of pandering to white supremacists.
Why is this important?
Republican Rep. Steve Scalise recently admitted to speaking at a white supremacist conference in Louisiana. Turns out it's just the most recent example in a longer string of dog-whistles and pandering to an electorate that repeatedly voted for former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke.
Despite this shocking revelation, Scalise — who once described himself as "David Duke without the baggage" — was easily elected by his fellow Republicans to become House Majority Whip. This makes him the third most powerful Republican in the House of Representatives. No one with a history of keeping company with white supremacists should hold such an influential position.
Yet Walmart contributed $8,500 to Scalise between 2012 and 2014, making them one of the largest supporters of his efforts to build power and influence in the House.
Join us in telling Walmart to decide whose side they're on -- the bigots, and those who pander to them, or the rest of us. Ask them to pledge not to donate any more money to Steve Scalise, or any politician who panders to white supremacists.
