The 2006 Change Wal-Mart, Change America Tour is going non-stop to 19 states and 35 cities in 35 days to fight for a better America.

But, what would a road trip, especially one with a really big cool bus, be without really cool pictures. So every day, starting on August 1st, we are going to load pictures of our events and experiences (trying to leave out at least the most embarrassing ones) as we go across America to change Wal-Mart and change America for the better.

So join up, RSVP for an event in your town, and check back every night to see what happens over the next 840 hours as we photograph our fight for a better America.

Trust us, we have a feeling you won’t want to miss any of these pictures…

P.S. If you have your own pictures from the tour that you want to share with us please send them to info@wakeupwalmart.com and we will post them too!
