''Democracy for America and Wake-Up Wal-Mart Campaign"

"Wake-Up Wal-Mart launched a new legislative and grassroots initiative today to make sure that large companies, like Wal-Mart, provide affordable health care for their workers. The "Make Wal-Mart Care About Health Care" campaign will highlight the high cost American taxpayers pay because Wal- Mart fails to provide their workers with affordable health care. The coordinated grassroots effort, which unites Democracy for America (DFA), the group founded by Governor Howard Dean, and supporters of Wake-Up Wal-Mart, will also include an unprecedented grassroots effort to lobby state leaders to propose "Fair Share Health Care" legislation in all 50 states. The "Make Wal-Mart Care About Health Care" campaign will officially launch with a series of press conferences in 8 states and 325 Meet-Ups in over 270 cities, involving over 10,000 supporters of DFA and Wake-Up Wal-Mart.

Press conferences with civic, community, and labor leaders will be held in Concord, N.H.; Seattle, Wash.; Phoenix, Ariz.; Madison, Wis.; Little Rock, Ark.; Austin, Texas; Hartford, Conn.; and Atlanta, Ga. "-from the post on RedNova.
