An heir to the Walmart -Fortuin made a daring step against President Donald Trump by sharing a political message about working with allies and insisting voters to attend town halls.
Christy Walton, 76, placed a complete advertisement in the New York Times and other more local newspapers on Sunday and called in Americans to deal with the political process, according to Fortune Magazine.
The advertisement shows a picture of the Statue of Liberty with the head 'USA, US, US' printed near De Fakkel.
It is then about calling action, including: 'We leave our obligations and stand with our allies'' 'We defend themselves against aggression and dictators'', we respect our neighbors and trading partners' and 'We maintain and defend the Constitution'.
The political advertisement ends by saying: 'The honor, dignity and integrity of our country is not for sale. Come show up, attend your town halls, be civil. '
It then notes that the 'views that represented her are exclusively those of Christy Walton and readers lead to the e -mail address 4honor.integrity@gmail.com.
A person who was familiar with the thinking of the billionaire told Bloomberg that it was a non -party message that encouraged people to make their voice heard and actively participate in the government.
But many Americans quickly made connections between the message of Walton and the actions of the Trump government -who has imposed rates on Canada and Mexico and has called for international conviction after a testy meeting with the Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zensky.

The president has sworn to levy 25 percent rates against the neighbors of the United States in the north and south on 2 April.
But he hinted that the rates might not be as hard as he originally promised.
“We can take less than what they charge because they have sued us so much, I don't think they can take it,” said Trump of the Oval Office.
“In other words, they have sued us so much that I am ashamed to ask them what they have sued us,” he added, although he did not specify for which countries he considered a reversal.
He also suggested that some of his other rates for cars, wood, medicines and semiconductors can wait until later this year.
Nevertheless, Trump promised that 2 April would be 'Liberation Day' because they would include sufficient income to lower taxes and create jobs.
He has also increased his rates for 2018 on steel and aluminum to 25% for all imports and has committed himself to extra rates for cars, pharmaceutical medicines, wood, computer chips and copper.
Canada and Mexico have reacted angry with the rates, with Trump's poking about making Canada the 51st state that the newly chosen prime minister only registers.

Trump has also taken some obligations from the United States – withdraw from the Climate Deal in Paris to one of his first acts after he took office.
He then disrupted feathers with international leaders when he and Vice President JD Vance held a fiery meeting last month with Zensky, which forced the Ukrainian leader from the White House before he could adorn the stage with Trump for a planned press conference.
In the meantime, the Trump government on the home front has confronted protests for the revision of the Ministry of Government Efficiency of the Federal Government.
And despite a source that claimed that Walton's message should be non-politics, she previously had a fundraising in Jackson Hole, Wyoming for former vice-president Kamala Harris during her presidential campaign.
According to Bloomberg, the tickets for that event varied from $ 1,250 to $ 100,000.

She had previously signed a letter in which former President Joe Biden was called to drop off the presidential race.
More recently, Walton donated $ 50,000 to the Lincoln project – a political action committee whose website describes its 'Fight Against Trumpism' – and $ 150,000 to a group that supports Senate Democrats.
It is estimated that she has a net value of $ 17.8 billion after getting married to John Walton, the son of Walmart -founder Sam.
John had died in a plane crash in 2005 and left his widow with some of his shares.
