This weekend, politicos across the internets were all atwitter (ahem) over Senator Charles Grassley's tweets at President Obama. You can view them directly on his page here.

While telling the President he "has some nerve" as well as asserting "I'm no NAIL" might raise some eyebrows, we're not here to school Senator Grassley on the finer points of inter-netiquette. Rather, SEIU's Change that Works campaign is taking advantage of the Senator's connectivity to reach out directly and influence him where it counts: to reform our country's health care.

So for the next 24 hours, Change that Works Iowa is implementing a twitter campaign aimed directly at Senator Grassley to convince him to support a public health plan option as a part of the health care reform plan. Each hour, a new story of health-care related hardship will be posted to the Iowa's Change that Works blog, and linked to a post directed at Senator Grassley on Twitter. Says the WCF Courier:

"The stories will be about Iowans who have faced the barrier of private insurance and high health care costs," Mertens said. Adding, "In some cases, the stories will be told by people who have struggled with the limitations of private health insurance. Others will be told by health care professionals who have seen patients encounter those problems."

We hope that the Senator uses his Twitter to listen to what his constituents need. Thanks to the magic of internet-technology, the stories of those who struggle with our current broken system can finally be heard, for those who want to listen.
