Thanks to the hard work of the Iowa Change that Works, our 24 hours of health care stories campaign on Twitter was a tremendous success.

With coverage in multiple media outlets, including the WCF Courier, Des Moines Register, as well as several Iowa blogs, such as the Radio Iowa Blog, Blog for Iowa and Iowa Politics, our Twitter campaign focused attention right where it was needed: on the struggles of everyday Iowans dealing with the burden of expensive, inadequate health care.

According to the Des Moines Register, our stories reached Senator Charles Grassley's office:

Late Monday, Grassley's office issued a statement saying he appreciates what Change That Works Iowa is doing.

"It is using Twitter in a similar fashion to how Sen. Grassley uses Twitter -- as another way to communicate with Iowans and make representative government work," press secretary Beth Levine said.

Grassley, who was in and out of meetings all day, including a meeting with Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor, planned to read the group's tweets at the end of the day, Levin said.

Thanks to the bravery of those that shared their stories, our fight to reform our health care system continues to make a difference.
