So student senate is staging a calling campaign to the US Congress to fight the passing of HR 609. This resolution would cut nine billion dollars from financial aid to students. I was interested, so I stopped at their table in the union and eventually made a call to my congressman Collin Peterson. Out of five possible staff people, who answers but Andy Martin!
I did my schpeal about tell congressman not to vote for this, got Andy's opinion as to whether he would or not, and let him know who was behind all of these calls. I chastised him for not attending Camp Collin, and reported that his boss had inspired everyone to go out and work in the 2006 campaign (apparently no one had told him how it went).
Then I mentioned Cap had been stumping for Steve Kelly at the DFL dinner last night and that I had talked to him about getting a job. Of course Andy stepped up to the plate and offered inside info from his connections too. Woo-hoo!
As Cap said - there is no way I can't get a campaign job in Minnesota because most of our races will be targeted and that means money!
