Group opposes Wal-Mart plan to build near Civil War battlefields in VA

A website drawing some attention has been established to build public opposition to Wal-Mart's plan to construct a new store adjacent to Civil War battlefields in Virginia.

Readers coming to the website, http://www.civilwar.org/walmart08, are told:

Walmart is planning on building a 141,000 sq. ft. Superstore next to the Wilderness and Chancellorsville Battlefields. Do you want to see the historical significance of both of these battlefields marred forever by more pavement, more traffic and more developement that a Walmart Supercenter will bring in its wake?
