Every four years, as Iowa readies to be the first state in the nation to vote in the presidential primary, discussions arise: How well does Iowa represent the nation? In honor of the upcoming Iowa Caucuses, POPVOX gives you a peek of the bills that moved Iowans to contact Congress in 2011. At least comparing responses from Iowans on POPVOX to nation-wide totals, it appears that throughout 2011, the messages going into Congress from Iowa were very similar to those of the nation as a whole.
Excited to find this great example of citizen journalism out of Chicago (and thank you Barbara Iverson for the great article on POPVOX!)
