"Revolution" Hits NYC to Launch getavisionFUND
Calls for Protection for the Health Challenged


(June 2, 2009) Just days preceding America's Independence Day, a group of revolutionaries are calling for protection for the lives of the millions living with critical health conditions to ignite what "REVOLUTION" event organizers call a "love revolution" in both charity and social justice.

On the 40th anniversary of the historic Stonewall riots, people from all backgrounds and sectors of society will gather in New York City on the streets surrounding the New York Stock Exchange and Federal Hall, where the Bill of Rights were signed and George Washington was inaugurated as the first president of the United States of America.

The organizers are launching a new charity program: getavisionFUND. The innovative microfunding program redirects a percentage of credit card processing transaction fees directly to people facing serious health and financial conditions.

Working together with Retail Data Systems and RBS WorldPay, this first of a kind program brings together the credit card processing companies with businesses to funnel money into the getavisionFUND, with all funds dispersed to those in need through debit cards issued by Visa and Mastercard. The first established programs benefit victims of blood cancers, such as lymphoma and leukemia.

"We're calling for a revolution of love and redistribution of wealth that directly reaches the health challenged, those who are the most vulnerable and helpless, no matter what sexual orientation, race, age or economic class. If they're not you and me, they are our friends, loved ones or family members," said cancer survivor John Boswell, founder of Los Angeles-based netv.com and the getavision project.

"Our desire is to redirect money from Wall Street to Main Street and eventually to those throughout the world. We're celebrating social peace and personal victory by redistributing the wealth from Wall Street to those who are battling critical health challenges This Independence Day, we'll be celebrating new avenues to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness for everyone."
