Day 22, and here we are in hot, sunny Denver...and every day the movement grows.

What is still incredible about this tour is the number of folks - Republicans, Democrats, Independents - who come up to us and want to join the campaign.

You see the most powerful thing that resonates with people - and it resonates because it is what we all believe - is that all Americans want Wal-Mart to change into a better employer. All Americans realize that Wal-Mart can be wealthy and responsible. Sadly, Wal-Mart still refuses to change; but, the energy and the passion of the people we meet will fuel our campaign until the day Wal-Mart does change for the better.

In Denver, the sun and the heat didn't keep Mile-High citizens away from our rally downtown on 16th and Market. Over 200 folks joined us for a great press conference/rally. It was a beautiful location, with great speakers, in the heart of a beautiful city.

The lineup of speakers was impressive. State Senate President Joan Fitz-Gerald led off the list, followed by State Representative Judy Solano, Candidates for State Senate Chris Romer and Keely Marrs, Author David Sirota, and Colorado State Democratic Party Chairman Pat Waak.

And nearly to a person they all asked the proverbial question - the question Wal-Mart does not want to answer - why can't Wal-Mart change into a better employer that does what is right for its workers, their families, and America?

David Sirota really said it well when he talked about the broad coalition of support on this issue from all political parties. The coalition of small business owners, taxpayer advocates, and others certainly came out in force today. Because contrary to what Wal-Mart's "paid paid critics" say, Republicans in Idaho, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, and New York have spoken out about why Wal-Mart's burden on state taxpayers is unacceptable.

We also had guests from the Littleton, Colorado community group that has been fighting to keep Wal-Mart out of Littleton until the company becomes a more responsible employer.

We're off for out second stop in Colorado tonight with our Pueblo town hall meeting at Colorado State University at Pueblo.

A special thanks to the chef at Watercourse in Denver for the best lunch any of us could have imagined.
