Brownback for President

Fall 2007 Internship is Announced-- APPLY TODAY!

What summer interns say about the program:

"The Brownback internship has been most rewarding summer of my life. Not only have I made new friendships with like-minded pro-life conservative students from across the country, but I have gained invaluable political experience and have been able to work side-by-side with an honest, principled, hard-working man from Kansas, Senator Sam Brownback." 

Bethany, a junior at Grove City College from Maryland, works Christian Outreach on the campaign.

"When I completed my spring semester in May, I had just been elected student body president for this upcoming year. I then headed out to Iowa to work on the Brownback for President Campaign in Iowa, never thinking that I would give up being student body president in order to keep working for a man that I have grown to respect and love: Senator Sam Brownback. The people, the experience, and going to sleep every night knowing that I am making history is truly amazing."

Terry, a junior at Franciscan University of Steubenville from Illinois, is the Iowa Youth Outreach Director on the campaign.

"The best memory of the campaign so far has been organizing a 4-day, 27-stop bus tour across Iowa. It was a ton of work, but was an incredible experience that I will never forget. Watching my work directly contribute to the success of a presidential campaign is rewarding."

Jordan, a recent graduate of the University of North Carolina from Kansas, works on the Advance Team.

What?

This summer, 47 interns from across the nation - from Florida to Maine, Virginia to California - have been working in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina in an aggressive grassroots campaign. The Brownback for President Campaign is looking for applicants to participate in a highly selective internship program starting approximately September 1st that will run through approximately December 15^th. Applicants will be selected based upon their strength of application, personal recommendations, and interview results.

The personal and professional strengths of each applicant are evaluated and appropriate positions are determined. Examples are grassroots coalition teams; media; voter identification and outreach; and administrative work.

The Brownback campaign will deploy selected applicants to critical battleground states to help run Senator Brownback's campaign in that state. During the internship, all necessary living expenses will be paid for by the campaign.

By giving us your fall and working for Senator Brownback, you will gain invaluable knowledge and experience in grassroots organizing for a top tier presidential campaign. In addition, by supporting Senator Brownback you will be on the front lines of assuring that our next President will be one who will respect human life, defend traditional marriage, and uphold our conservative values.

Who?

We are looking for applicants who are highly motivated, hard-working, self-starters, and committed to helping elect Sam Brownback as President in 2008. Specifically, program requirements are:

• Applicants must be 18-25 years old (must be at least 18 years of age by September 1, 2007);
• Presently attending college or recently graduated from college;
• Prior campaign or volunteer experience is preferred but not mandatory;
• The strongest qualification for all applicants is the ability to work hard, take direction, and be a team player.

Why?

This is a very simple yet fair question. Why should I participate? The answer to this question is found in asking yourself a few other questions, namely:

• Will America honor and celebrate the right to life in the future?
• Will our nation's most fundamental institution--marriage--by redefined downward thus threatening the whole foundation of society?
• Will our nation stand strong and unapologetically against the jihadist terrorist threat that is spreading across the globe?
• Will higher taxes and runaway government spending threaten our future prosperity?
• Will our nation's judiciary continue to legislate from the bench and continue to create 'constitutional rights' such as abortion-on-demand and homosexual marriage? 

All of these questions are still unanswered, but will be determined by the choices WE make. That is why we need you to stand with Senator Brownback and his presidential campaign this fall!

If you pledge your fall months to the Senator, he makes his pledge to you that he will not waver in presenting a clear, conservative message to the American people about the proper direction that our nation needs to take. It will take the work of all who care about restoring our nation's moral compass to help make Senator Brownback successful in his quest for presidency. Such a profound opportunity like this to affect the direction of our nation arises very rarely.

Beyond the implications for our nation, few opportunities offer the experience and professional development that the Brownback Fall 2007 Internship can offer. Regardless of your future career plans, this program is a fantastic opportunity to:

·         Learn invaluable grassroots experience in organizing volunteers and events;

·         Work under the direction of campaign professionals who will teach you the fundamentals of political organizing;

·         Network with other conservatives and political leaders throughout the country;

·         Experience the excitement and energy of a presidential campaign;

·         Develop your leadership and management skills as well as build your campaign experience;

·         Make new friends that you will likely keep for the rest of your life.

Depending on your class/graduation schedule, most selected applicants would be deployed from September 1, 2007 through December 15, 2007. Variations from this schedule will be applied on a case-by-case basis.
