Help me out. I need to frame some council member hopefuls with Wal-Mart
Ok, Heres the short story

3 men are running for the city council in May. They all support Wal-Mart and want to bring it to my town. I promised one of them(a current council member) that if he voted for the Wal-Mart I would do everything I could to make sure he was not re-elected. The other 2 are running against incumbents who voted against the Wal-Mart.

So I want to frame these guys right away so when people hear thier names they go "OH, The Wal-Mart Gang" or something like that. This town is overwhelmingly against the Wal-Mart, and we have a recall effort going for the other members who are not up for re-election in May.

I need a catchy phrase that won't get me sued, that I can put out everywhere. Like how every repuke was saying flip-flopper for Kerry, I want something everyone will say and associate with these 3 and Wal-Mart.

So all you creative minds, help me out.
All I've got is The Wal-Mart Gang

6. Well, close enough to...

9. state sanctioned abortion supporters

remember, WalMart almost singlehandedly made China a player and they still force women to abort healthy and wanted children by state mandate

10. Maybe someone already had one
you could use. Try a search under " how to fight wal-mart " and maybe some of the unions and environmental groups have something in stock from past battles.

I use to have a Mall-Wart bumper sticker.
