WASHINGTON — Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, is asking YouTube users for input on the health care reform debate. Grassley is this week's featured senator on YouTube's program that promotes interaction between members of Congress and the constituents they represent.
As the ranking Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, which oversees Medicare, Grassley will play a major role in shaping health reform legislation.
"I've always viewed government as a two-way street where constituents communicate with their elected leaders," Grassley said. "It only makes sense to seek input on an issue like health care reform where so many Americans have a stake. I look forward to taking common sense input from YouTube users to the national debate on health care reform."
Grassley's video will be featured today through next Tuesday on YouTube's Senate Hub, where you can add your comments. On Monday, March 23, Grassley will post a second featured video that will respond to some of the comments posted to the original video.
