<body><BR><BR>" 'Politics is the art of controlling your environment.' That is one of the key things I learned in these years, and I learned it the hard way. Anybody who thinks that 'it doesn't matter who's President' has never been Drafted and sent off to fight and die in a vicious, stupid War on the other side of the World -- or been beaten and gassed by Police for trespassing on public property -- or been hounded by the IRS for purely political reasons -- or locked up in the Cook County Jail with a broken nose and no phone access and twelve perverts wanting to stomp your ass in the shower. That is when it matters who is President or Governor or Police Chief. That is when you will wish you had voted." - Hunter S.

<TD vAlign=top width=575 bgColor=#ffffcc><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 12px" face=arial,helvetica color=#000000>Dear Tim,
We just got word.
<P>A federal court just ruled that Wal-Mart must face a class-action lawsuit affecting more than 2 million current and former female Wal-Mart employees who say Wal-Mart discriminated against them both in pay and promotions.
<P>As you may recall, in 2004, a federal judge said Wal-Mart must stand trial in the largest gender discrimination lawsuit in U.S. history. But, Wal-Mart appealed the ruling.
<P>Well, today, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected Wal-Mart’s appeal and said that Wal-Mart must stand trial.
<P>This is great news and big victory for more than 2 million female Wal-Mart employees who were paid less and promoted less than their equivalent male counterparts.
<P>As the court stated in its ruling, "Plaintiff's expert opinions, factual evidence, statistical evidence and anecdotal evidence present significant proof of a corporate policy of discrimination and support plaintiff's contention that female employees nationwide were subjected to a common pattern and practice of discrimination."
<P>Now we need your help.
<P>Please <B><A href="http://www.wakeupwalmart.com/feature/genderlawsuit/" target=_blank>forward the article</A></B> about Wal-Mart’s gender discrimination lawsuit on to 5 of your friends.
<P>By joining together, we have the power to build a movement that will change Wal-Mart and change corporate America forever.
<P>Help us build that movement today.
