Wow. I wish you could see this scene right now. The United Neighbors hall in Davenport, Iowa is packed. And, I mean packed. People are standing in the hallways, cramming into the doorways, overflowing from the meeting hall.

Gubernatorial candidate Chet Culver has joined us to talk about Wal-Mart being a more responsible corporate citizen.

Coming on the heels of our events with Senators Bayh and Biden (and following many other national and local political leaders), Iowans are buzzing about the movement. I gotta say, it is so encouraging to sit here and listen to some of our nation's most respected political leaders stand up for working families.

Tomorrow, a few more national leaders will add their voices to the chorus for change. We'll be joined by Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack and New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson for a town hall meeting in Waterloo.

While all of the events have been going well, the untold story is the stacks and stacks of sign up sheets we've been collecting for canvassing the streets from New York to Iowa. We're working on entering all of the names, but I'd say we've already signed up a few thousand. Like the field nerd I am, I'll keep you updated on the numbers. People-to-people on the streets. That's how a movement builds.
