>Dear Tim,
>
>The revolution to take back America has begun.
>
>Until now, big corporations like Wal-Mart said or did whatever they wanted, 
>and got away with it.  Well, yesterday, you proved Wal-Mart wrong and 
>demonstrated the power ordinary people have to change Wal-Mart and change 
>America for the better.
>
>Here's what happened.  In October 2005, Wal-Mart said it supported raising 
>the minimum wage.  But, since then, Wal-Mart has used its industry 
>lobbyists to oppose a minimum wage increase.  And, up until yesterday, 
>Wal-Mart's own chief lobbyist claimed the public had misinterpreted 
>Wal-Mart's statement and that Wal-Mart never supported raising the minimum 
>wage.
>
>When we exposed Wal-Mart's lie and called on the company to come clean, 
>Wal-Mart caved into public pressure and said it once again supported 
>raising the minimum wage.  We can only hope Wal-Mart will now actually do 
>something positive to help millions of hard-working Americans who live in 
>poverty.
>
>Wal-Mart's reversal on the minimum wage proves the power that every 
>American has to change this company and this country for the better.  Now, 
>if we could change Wal-Mart's position on the minimum wage with 243,600 
>supporters, imagine what we could with 1 million.
>
>This July 4th, get your friends to join the next revolution to take back 
>America.
>Watch our latest TV ad:

>
>In the spirit of our founding fathers, America must now fight back against 
>big corporations like Wal-Mart who are using our government to declare war 
>on America's working people.
>
>By contributing millions of dollars, Wal-Mart is pursuing a right-wing 
>agenda to:
>
>* Ship American jobs overseas;
>* Oppose expanding health care for working families;
>* Lobby to weaken port security
>* Stop a living wage increase
>
>Wal-Mart's war threatens the middle-class, undermines America's role as the 
>leader in the world, and is a direct attack on American values and our 
>democracy.
>
>We must fight back.  This July 4th, the next revolution to take back 
>America begins.  Be the first to see our new TV ad:
>
>http://www.wakeupwalmart.com/feature/independence/</B>
>
>We desperately need change in America and America is ready for change.  
>But, we can't have real change when big corporations like Wal-Mart stand in 
>the way.
>
>This July 4th, become a patriot for America's working people.  Please send 
>this TV ad to at least 10 friends and ask them to declare their 
>independence from Wal-Mart and join the revolution to take back America.
>
>Happy July 4th,
>
