Saturday morning you could find these RAGING GRANNIES outside the Wal*Mart in Mountain View. The songs they were singing say a lot about why they were there. Click the picture on the left above to check them out!

   

   

The "all one people" button was on one of the Grannies, a reminder that we can't solve the problem here, it needs a global solution.

    

A lot of people stopped to listen for a song or two and then wandered on and went about their business. I remember talking to one guy (not shown) that wanted to know where to shop if not at Wal*Mart. I told him about getting underwear from a woman who made the stuff and sold it at craft fairs. He thought one little old lady just couldn't make as much as Wal*Mart sells. I replied that if she could make a good business that way, other people would get into the market.

Sara got the "BEST T SHIRT TO WEAR TO A WAL*MART PROTEST" Award! The fine print says it's from northernsun.com

What follows is the text of the flier they were handing out to give people a sense of the scale of the worker abuse problems Wal*Mart is guilty of:
