Also, please consider this a special invitation to each of you as leaders in the TFCD to join us in our campaign.  We are accepting individuals for internships in communications, new media and finance and we are not restricted by geography (though only in-state internships qualify), and preference will not be given to individuals residing in the candidate’s hometown.
