William Kelly Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 John, American citizenship isn't always an asset. I'd think twice about that. John Judge said that they are looking forward to having you work with them. Cynthia McKinney's office is a little different than most congressional offices. I worked out of there on a 911 Briefing and it was all quite interesting. Your first assignment will probably be to liason with the secretaries at Sen. Kennedy's office. If you are in by June 10th, that's when there will be a vigil and memorial service at American U. where JFK gave his Peace speech. BK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BK Hi Bill, My flight is booked for the 8th so I shall indeed be at the American University. I pretty much have accommodation sorted out. Its likely that I will be living in Cheverly, Maryland. I have my interview with the embassy this Tuesday, so hopefully everything goes well. Thats some first assignment! To be honest I can't wait to get there. At the moment I'm working flat out in a liquor store to get as much money together as possible. I'm going to attempt trips to both Dallas and Memphis while I'm there if its possible. The people I will be sharing a house with are quite interested in politics so that should keep me on my toes away from the office. For some strange reason I fly in via Atlanta, so I will set foot in Georgia! All the best, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
