"That has energized the [conservative] base and helped recruit money and volunteers."

Kristina Rasmussen just published an Op-Ed in THE STATE JOURNAL-REGISTER. Here it is:
Posted Dec 11, 2009 @ 12:05 AMMuch of the debate over national health-care legislation has centered on flashpoints like higher taxes, abortion and immigration.
Yet one major aspect of the health-care plans being developed on Capitol Hill has received relatively scant attention. House and Senate Democrats are planning on significantly expanding Medicaid in an attempt to decrease the number of uninsured.
Did you know...
That the Graduate School of Political Management has a new project to help young people get information about careers in politics? It is called PoliticsUnder30.org and was launched this September. PoliticsUnder30.org has some great things to offer:
