MESSAGE FROM DON HAZEN AT ALTERNET - We Are Writing Today To Let You Know About Robert Greenwald's New Documentary, "Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price."

Visit http://www.walmartmovie.com/?track=alternet to find out more.

It is at the heart of what is shaping up to be one of the largest, and most important, national grassroots efforts for social change in recent history. More importantly, this is an invitation for you to participate in this grassroots campaign by hosting a screening of the movie.

Problem: Wal-Mart, the world's wealthiest company
Solution: Millions coming together in opposition to the most egregious corporate abuses ever seen in America.
How: The formation of a grassroots coalition, across the political spectrum, to support and organize around the upcoming documentary, "WAL-MART: The High Cost of Low Price," from director Robert Greenwald of “Outfoxed" and "Uncovered." Check out: http://www.walmartmovie.com?track=alternet

Every new Wal-Mart store creates a ripple effect – family businesses close up shop, factories shut down, communities get squeezed, and fulfilling careers are turned into nightmare chores. Meanwhile, taxpayers are footing the bill for the healthcare of thousands of Wal-Mart's employees, while the company receives exorbitant tax breaks from the very same communities Wal-Mart will eventually discard. These are blatantly anti-family, anti-American practices. We must demand change from Wal-Mart. This film will be a powerful, emotional, entertaining, and visual mechanism designed to jumpstart this effort -- demanding change in the way the company conducts business in the U.S. and across the globe.

Greenwald is looking for your help to make this happen; he needs you to be his Warner Brothers and help get this film seen by hosting a screening. "Wal-Mart," the movie, will debut not in movie theaters, but in thousands of homes, churches and family businesses through the week of November 13, 2005. Please visit http://www.walmartmovie.com/host.php?track=alternet to join us and host a screening by signing up. Pick a day that is most convenient for you -- don't worry about the details; when we get closer to November, we'll be back in touch. With your support, we will give "Wal-Mart," the movie, a citizens' premiere that will blow the lid off of traditional film distribution and trigger a debate across our country on the true high cost of Wal-Mart's "low prices."
