Welcome to "6 degrees of Wal-Mart".  Click the buttons below for a look at Wal-Mart's web of secret spending through some of the nation's largest trade associations.  As a result of the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision, corporations like Wal-Mart are now able to channel unlimited sums of money to these tax exempt entities for electioneering purposes -- without disclosing a single penny.

Some corporations have opted to voluntarily disclose their political spending; Wal-Mart has refused.  According to Wal-Mart's leadership, disclosing their political spending or the rationale behind this spending to shareholders would place the company at a "competitive disadvantage" by revealing their "long-term business strategies and priorities."  

On June 1, 2012, Wal-Mart shareholders will gather in Fayetteville, Arkansas to demand that Wal-Mart fully disclose all of the company's political spending, including Walmart's secret spending to trade associations and tax-exempt groups.
