All interns perform substantive and meaningful work, and will never be asked to answer phones or make coffee. Interns gain familiarity reading and interpreting actual legislation, and acquire valuable experience for those considering law school or working in any policy-related field. Through their daily work, interns in our legislative research department are exposed to the important issues facing their state and the country, as well as the solutions being proposed by policymakers. We are more than happy to work with students' university departments in order to help them receive academic credit for their internship experience when possible.

Get Involved! The insanity began in the name of health care Very few will remember that the first signs (we mean literally) of insanity were about health care reform. As we watched with utter dismay, the administrations young communication machine failing to articulate its strategy about health care, signage of insanity took control of the health care debate and sanity disappeared. Even days before its passage, strong supporters like Lawrence ODonnell of MSNBC predicted that the health care reform bill would never pass. The grip of insanity kept growing larger and larger after the passage of the bill and the administrations response to the insanity continued to be insanely meek. Our call to action to bring sanity in the health care reform debate will start with a challenge to the administration to DEFEND HEALTHCARE reform. Be part of the MOVEMENT! Support your President, healthcare reform, and the administration and help millions of Americans maintain healthcare coverage.
