21:06 Minutes of Press conferance in front of AHCCCS/Medicaid office in Phoenix Az by group traveling around in the WakeUp Walmart Bus nationwide. Local Guest speakers.
Yesterday, we sent you an email about Wal-Mart's latest vicious attack on political leaders who are fighting for affordable health care and good paying jobs. In just 24 hours, thousands of WakeUpWalMart.com supporters have responded, calling on Wal-Mart to apologize, fire the right-wing author of the article dubbing Democrats who spoke on our Tour as "Hezbocrats," and immediately close down its front group.
Many of you in Arizona responded to our rapid response call to action, and we thank you for that.
Tomorrow, you have another chance to stand up to Wal-Mart, to show America we will not allow Swift-Boating on the issue of affordable health care and better wages.

We will not allow Wal-Mart to divide us using outrageous language and fear tactics. We will continue to stand up for working men and women and demand that large, profitable corporations reflect the best of American values.
Join us in Phoenix as we continue to fight for change.
Hope to see you there. Bring a friend!
Thank you for all that you do,
Jeremy Bird
