We found out today that Mike Duke, Wal-Mart's CEO, signed the petition to ban gay adoption in Arkansas.
Over the weekend, the website knowthyneighbor.org revealed that Mike Duke signed a petition to put an anti-gay adoption ban on the ballot in Arkansas. (Mike Duke's signature below was pulled off the actual PDF provided by the Secretary of State.)
We still don't know a huge amount about Mike Duke. We know that he has donated to conservative, uber-religious Republicans like Mike Huckabee and John Boozman - as well as John McCain for President in 2008. We know that he has never shown that his political agenda is out of line with the Waltons - who selected him to succeed Lee Scott as the 4th CEO of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.
Why does this matter? Because the extreme right-wing agenda of the Walton Family and company executives permeates the entire company.
