Every so often, we like to highlight stories where communities stand up to Wal-Mart and let the giant corporation know that, for various reasons, they don't want a massive big box store in their town. This story is particularly inspiring. I encourage you to go to the website too, and watch the footage, it shows some of the land these two moms saved.

Moms Win Battle Against Wal-Mart

A couple of Central Florida stay-at-home moms have taken on the biggest bullies in business and government and won.

The area's environment and drinking water supply could be winners as well.

Lisa Smith and Arlynn Baker walked through what will become Central Florida's newest nature preserve after winning a five-year battle.

It all started because they were determined to prevent their children from having to dodge Wal-Mart traffic in front of their school. The land once was an Atlantic beach.

Authorities said it's a critical recharge area for Titusville's drinking water wells, and there's almost no land like it left.

The two women stirred up so much opposition that it was too hot even for Wal-Mart, and the retail giant backed down.

"This is a perfect example to people elsewhere that, you know, it does look like a mountain, but take one step at a time," Smith said.

The state's land preservation agency, Forever Florida, just voted to buy the property, so now, no one can ever develop it -- all because two mothers refused to give up and refused to be intimidated by red tape or corporate lawyers.
