Interns Flock to DC Leadership School

Interns from public policy, grassroots organizations and educational groups expressed enthusiasm for our Washington D.C. Federalist leadership School . Th e well-attended three day seminar was co-sponsored by the American Conservative Union Foundation. Interns represented many of the most infl uential groups in the nation’s capital and the country’s best schools: American Conservative Student Union, the American Conservative Union, Americans for Prosperity, Americans for Tax Reform, Citizens Against Government Waste, the Corporate Research Board, Freedomworks, Intercollegiate Studies Institute, Leadership Institute, Patrick Henry

Here is what some of the students said:

 “I wish Donald Devine was teaching at my university! Dr. Devine puts the U.S. Constitution and American history in an insightful perspective that is very much needed in today’s public policy debates. The Federalist Leadership School upholds the timeless truth that one cannot be a leader without sound philosophical principles and then brilliantly explains the principles upon which America was founded and which all government leaders should take to heart. Your School opened my eyes to the great mystery and miracle that is the United States of America.” - Anthony Listi, Texas A&M student interning with Americans for Prosperity

“The Federalist Leadership School is the educational experience of a lifetime. It was most beneficial to hear from a gentleman who actually limited the government through Constitutional principles. The more information students hear about federalism, original intent, and limited government, the better our nation’s future will be.” - David Ferguson, University of Alabama, American Conservative Student Union

“The Federalist training was philosophically empowering. My university does not teach philosophy like this.” - Kyle Bristow, Michigan State University, the Leadership Institute “I recently had the privilege of attending your three day lecture in Washington. I thoroughly enjoyed the talk and will recommend it to like-minded acquaintances.” - James Mazol, Americans for Prosperity “I just wanted to thank you again for your lecture series. After these last three days I feel much more competent discussing the role of government in freedom, a subject I have endless curiosity for. Thanks again,” - Ashley Emans, University of Florida, American Conservative Union

“I have been working on campaigns and organizations my whole college career. I often blindly committed to these causes and have developed my political beliefs due to good and bad experiences. But after our lecture with Dr. Devine, I can now say I have further solidified my ambitions with real education.” - John Connors, Marquette University, Students for Prosperity
