ONE members traveled to see Senator Joe Biden at a coffee shop in Iowa on Friday. After the senator delivered a speech, a couple ONE members and I had a chance to speak with him about ONE and debt relief.

Senator Biden pointed out that he took the lead on some of the first debt relief proposals in the Senate and continues to support debt relief to struggling countries. Before departing for his next stop he put on a band and posed for a quick picture.
