state-wide campaign in New Jersey.

alongside our core staff members, interns will have the opportunity to develop

***Internship Opportunity for both Political Science and
International Relations Majors!***
Do you enjoy politics? If so, there is a golden
opportunity for you to get involved and receive credit for your college
internship! John Marino, Republican State Senator candidate, is currently
running to fill a State Senate Seat once held by Bethany Hall Long. The
importance of this race is to provide Delawareans with a chance to bring
political balance back to the State of
Delaware. This is something that Delawareans has not had in 44yrs.
By applying to be an intern with this campaign, one
will gain both conceptual knowledge and a sense of how the "Political
Machine" works from a "grassroots" style campaign operation. The
intern will learn from both a observational and hands on perspective in
learning how to perform tasks such as door-knocking, phone calling or banking,
organizing flyers, making and delivering campaign signage. Tasks such as these
highlight what real life political campaigning consists of. Not only will the
intern see how tedious campaigning can be, but will have the golden opportunity
to be able to both interact and fine tune one's own public speaking skills.
This campaign is unpaid, but its opportunity can be
a potential resume builder. Because of the short timeframe that this election
cycle is running, the length of this assignment is between 1 and 2 months and
would suffice for someone that is looking to fill 3cr for their internship.
Internship spots is limited to four applicants! So,
first come is first served! Among signing for your internship opportunity,
please bring an updated resume to present to the Campaign Director Kathleen
Rutherford at the Delaware Republican Headquarters located in Newark, De. If
you have any further questions after you sign up for your internship, please
email the Campaign Director at kruther4d@gmail.com.

***Gun Free Dining Tennessee***
Gun Free Dining Tennessee (GFDT) is a non-profit organization that encourages restaurants that serve alcohol to not allow guns. This became an issue in 2010 when Tennessee passed a law allowing guns in bars and restaurants, at the behest of the NRA. This is a tactic now being used by the NRA in many states across the country (e.g., North Carolina passed a similar law in 2013). We believe that most people prefer that guns not be allowed to mix with alcohol, and have created a web site documenting which restaurants do and don't allow guns (it is a local choice, under the Tennessee law). We also work to educate restaurant owners and the public, since many do not even realize that guns are allowed.
The intern helps GFDT by calling restaurants in Tennessee to ask them about their gun policy, teach them about the new law, and encourage them to post a no-gun sign. The intern also helps manage our database and web site, and our Facebook page.
To apply for this internship
**Please e-mail Ray Friedman, President of GFDT, at
Ray.Friedman@Vanderbilt.edu.**
