I'm afraid I didn't take very good notes during either RC call this week. Muhammed Yunus is up for a Congressional Gold Medal. Senator Harkin has voted for it; Grassley not yet and Loebsack not yet. I will call Harkin's office tomorrow to thank him for that vote; I'll call Grassley and remind him of the work of Muhammed Yunus on microcredit -- a Grassley favorite; and I'll call Loebsack's office to ask that he support this effort. I need to touch base with Heidi Hotopp in Loebsack's office to follow up on a meeting request during the RESULTS International Conference.
On the domestic call this afternoon we talked about how to achieve greater diversity in our groups. Hopefully our presentation May 5 will reach people who are not white and middle-class. Also, healthcare is a hot topic right now among the presidential candidates.
