Wal-Mart Lies in Banking Testimony

How many times is Wal-Mart going to arrogantly mislead America and think it can get away with it?
Today, Wal-Mart admitted it provided inaccurate testimony to federal regulators at the FDIC about its banking application. Wal-Mart’s banking application has been controversial from the start leading the FDIC to hold its first-ever public hearings on an application last month.

We need your help. Please write the FDIC immediately, and tell the FDIC to reject Wal-Mart’s bank application. Wal-Mart’s behavior proves this company will say anything - including lying - to get what it wants. The FDIC should not believe anything Wal-Mart says and should deny Wal-Mart’s bank application.

It’s time to hold Wal-Mart accountable for its lies. Just like Big Tobacco, Wal-Mart went before federal regulators and failed to tell the truth. It is not surprising that Wal-Mart’s campaign is being run by the former tobacco industry lobbyist.

As we accurately testified at the FDIC hearing, a Wal-Mart bank is a dangerous concentration of capital in the hands of any single corporation. Wal-Mart wants to monopolize the American consumer. Company statements to the contrary are simply inaccurate.

Please take action today. Email the FDIC and ask them to reject Wal-Mart’s bank application.
