This is just a quick "thank you" note, in case you haven't already seen the good news. Late last night, the House of Representatives dropped plans to drill for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
TrueMajority members sent 40,000 messages to Congress over the weekend, insisting that at least this one last wild place be saved for purposes other than filling gas tanks. Despite heavy pressure from deep-pocketed industry lobbyists, your voices were heard. The provision to sink wells into the wildlife refuge has been stripped from the budget bill. Here are a couple of news items with the details: "House Drops ANWR From Budget." Anchorage Daily News, 11/10/2005; "Alaska Drilling Plan Shelved." CBS News, 11/10/2005. There is a chance this bad idea will rise from the grave one more time; if it does, we'll let you know so you can quickly act.
And this is just the latest piece of positive news. As you already know, last month after TrueMajority members urged the Senate to support an amendment banning the use of torture by American forces, that body passed the torture ban by a huge 90-9 margin. We still need to repeat that victory in the House to make the amendment law, and we know you'll be ready when that time comes.
The best thing we can do to ensure more victories is to bring more friends into the fold. To celebrate saving the refuge, send this link to 5 people you know who also care about America's future -- it invites them to sign up for action alerts, so next time we'll be even stronger.**************
Dear MoveOn member,
The grassroots response to the new Wal-Mart documentary has been incredible. Thanks to you and our many partners, "Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price" will debut next week in over 7,000 living rooms and community centers across the country—a true groundswell.
MoveOn is co-sponsoring the screenings on Tuesday, November 15th with a focus on legislative solutions. But you can also find a Wal-Mart house party any day next week with different themes, ranging from health care to small businesses, and meet up with folks from many different sectors in your community.
Can you join us at a screening in your neighborhood? Find one now, at:

The screenings are organized by a historic alliance of labor unions, small businesses, churches and progressive groups1 who have all come together to tell the true story of Wal-Mart's toll on American workers and communities—and to push for change.
Why Wal-Mart? As the world's largest corporation, Wal-Mart has single-handedly lowered the bar for working families in the global economy. By bringing together allies from every sector, this campaign offers the unique opportunity to force real reform in Wal-Mart, and beyond. And as we prepare for 2006, it shows how the progressive economic values that built this country are so badly needed once again.
As Congressman George Miller put it in the introduction to a Congressional report on Wal-Mart:
There's no question that Wal-Mart imposes a huge, often hidden, cost on its workers, our communities, and U.S. tax-payers...And Wal-Mart is in the driver's seat in the global race to the bottom, suppressing wage levels, workplace protections, and labor laws.2
Miller's Congressional inquiry found that Wal-Mart's full time employees are paid so little that the average Wal-Mart store costs American tax-pyaers over $400,000 in emergency health care, rent assistance, nutrition programs and educational services for employees and their families.3
Wal-Mart: the High Cost of Low Price was produced for less than half of what Wal-Mart spends on PR in a single day,4 but it has clearly hit a nerve. Wal-Mart is pouring millions of dollars into PR firms and political consultants to try to stamp out this fire.5 And it's no wonder—it's a powerful movie.
The film features real stories told by the people who lived them: Wal-Mart employees (from executives to floor level) shocked by abuse and discrimination, family owned businesses blown away by the Wal-Mart storm, even sweatshop workers in China and Bangladesh who produce the Wal-Mart apparel.
Next week, tens of thousands of us will gather in living rooms across the country to hear the true story of Wal-Mart and then take action together to make a difference. We hope you can join us.

p.s. Since its release, the film has been getting rave reviews. Here's just a couple:
From The Los Angeles Times:
"Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price" is an engrossing, muckraking documentary about the retail giant that's been called "the world's largest, richest and probably meanest corporation."6
From The New York Times:
"The High Cost of Low Price" makes its case with breathtaking force.7
From Entertainment Weekly:
"Greenwald floats the vital issue of whether Wal-Mart should be restrained by antimonopoly regulations, but his real question is cultural: Even with its rock-bottom prices, is Wal-Mart in the best interest of American consumers?"8
From T.V. Guide:
"3.5 (out of 4) stars! [An] Important, awareness-building documentary."9
From the Villiage Voice:
"Viewers may not be surprised to learn of Wal-Mart's horrific track record, but they can't deny Greenwald's airtight advocacy."10
