Update: New senators sworn in and waiting for office room assignments, hiring staff, passing the recovery and reinvestment act, passing children's health insurance, and orienting new fellows to the Hill. Exciting inaugural events and energy. Economy, housing, credit continue its downward spiral, hope seeking eternal.
And I accepted a job! Legislative Assistant with Senator Tom Udall (New Mexico). My portfolio of issues as the new Health/Education/Labor LA includes:
· Adoption & Foster Care
· Aging/Senior Issues
· Arts and Humanities
· Disability Issues
· Education (Ed Funding, Higher Ed, Indian Education, Libraries, NLCB, Student Loans)
· Health & Healthcare (FDA, Medical Marijuana, Prescription Drugs, Prevention & Wellness, Tobacco, Global Health)

· Social Security
· Welfare (TANF, Welfare Reform, WIC/Food Stamps)
o Labor/HHS/Ed. Approps
And that's the rest of the story.
