Wow. The tour is hot and so is the weather. I am dripping with sweat, but someone once said, "Change isn't easy." I signed up so many people that I actually ran out of sign up sheets and had to use the back of my clipboard. There are 21 people out here with us and even though it is over 100 degrees, we are going to keep the heat on Wal-Mart to change.

Believe it or not, while I was talking to someone about the need for affordable health care, I got a little wet because I was apparently standing too close to a NYC park worker who dumped an entire bucket of water from the pump on his body. I only wished he had dumped it on me.

On a more serious note, I can't believe how many people in NYC already know about the Wal-Mart issue. So many people yelled out in support of our cause as we drove by in our 45 foot long bus.

The most interesting person I met told me he would love to shop at Wal-Mart, but wouldn't until Wal-Mart did the right thing and paid its workers a living wage and provided its employees with affordable health care. He lives in the Bronx and said he would meet us there tonight. So Allen, if you read this, can't wait to see you again.

Then, at lunch, the guy next to me saw my t-shirt and asked me where I got it. I told him WakeUpWalMart.com and then I asked him why. He told me that he just bought the Robert Greenwald documentary on Wal-Mart called "Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Prices." He is a professor at Penn State and concerned about Wal-Mart's effect on America.

As soon as we have internet on the bus (no later than tonight), we will upload the pictures from this morning's canvass. By the way, the video of signing up real New Yorkers is pretty cool too. Ok, it's back to the street to keep the heat on Wal-Mart to change!
