Advocacy group joins list pushing caucus causes Former Gov. Terry Branstad and former Lt. Gov. Sally Pederson said they and others would question presidential candidates who crisscross the state about poverty. Their effort is part of One Vote '08, a national drive to make health and poverty top foreign policy priorities in the presidential campaign. "This is really a bipartisan effort to fight some of the biggest challenges we face in the world," said Branstad, a Republican who now heads Des Moines University. Pederson said 20,000 Iowa activists have signed onto the bipartisan anti-poverty campaign, making the group a formidable political force. There are 2.4 million backers around the country, she said.(“…”)
