Kansas
Democrats Internship opportunities
I was asked to pass this along by Rep.
Milack Talia in Johnson County. Please let me know if you are
interested and I will connect you with him!
This is a great opportunity for anyone
wanting to be involved in a campaign. Rep. Talia is great and
I encourage anyone who is interested to take this great opportunity.
The two positions are as follows: strategic
planning and policy research.
"For strategic planning, I will be
running for reelection and need to come up with a strategy to
win. This includes developing a campaign plan, timeline, and
budget along with district analysis and platform research. We
will also develop a door-to-door and direct mail program to connect
with voters."
"On policy research, I need to conduct
preliminary work on legislation to flush out before January.
Specifically, Im looking to see if other states have passed
similar bills, what were some of the obstacles, and whether we
can garner enough support to push a bill through the Legislature."
Please let me know if your interested,
or if you know someone who is.

Hoyer Delivers Keynote Address at the
National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Service
WASHINGTON, DC - House Majority Leader
Steny H. Hoyer (MD) delivered the keynote address today at the
28th National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Service in Emmitsburg,
MD. Below are his remarks as prepared for delivery:
The relationship between firefighters and the rest of us
starts with this fact: We can sleep because they dont.
We can lay our heads down in comfort, free from fear, because
we know that firefighters are waiting up through the long, tedious
hours of night for the sound of an alarm. We dont hope
that they arewe know.
And we know that, should the worst happen, they are ready
to shout down tens of thousands of years of human instinct and
run into fire. We dont hope that they willwe know.
And we know the cost they pay.
Each year, they take some 80,000 injuries in the line of
duty. Last year, 103 of them lost their lives.
There is a wide gulf between those who are asked to show
physical courage every day, and those who are not, no matter
how valuable their work is.
Most of us will never know the fear of risking our lives,
or the shock of seeing a friend lose a life. We can hold physical
courage in the highest respectin awe, in factbut
for most of us it will remain a mystery.
Maybe thats true even for those the fallen were closest
to, the families they left behind. If it could replace your loss
to say that they died in the noblest way possible, defending
their neighbors, then we would say it again and again. But words
wont make your families whole.
And yet, even in their absence, those we have lost still
have the power to teach us. And what we learn from those we honor
today is that there is room for courage in the life of every
one of us.
They died because there was something in each of their
lives that they valued more than life: above all, their families,
but also their work; their duty; their calling; their commitment
to the safety of each and every one of their fellow citizens.
No one without that conviction would take the risk they
tookthe risk they took simply by putting on the uniform.
That is the selflessness of courage.
And even if we are not called to physical courage, every
one of us can practice moral courage.
Let us ask ourselves now: where can we find our own selflessness?
What weighs more than our friends good opinions, our careers,
our comfort? For what could we give everything?
Physical courage may only belong to a few, but moral courage
is open to us all; and if we cant find an answer on this
day of remembrance, then our lives deserve a long, hard look.
And those we honor here today were fortunate in at least
one regard: They took that hard look and found something worth
being selfless for.
Otherwise, they could not have been firefighters.
