Welfare Bonding

Daniel talks to Rep. Jennifer Dunn, R-WA, and Pamela Dunn, a former welfare mother, who were partners in a program called Walk a Mile in Your Sister's Shoes, which paired lawmakers with welfare recipients. Pamela Dunn said that she expected a Republican member of Congress to be participating in the program just for appearances but found that Rep. Dunn was very gracious and even changed her position on one issue because of their conversations.
