Hello!

My name is Ronald E. Owens III and I am a student at Michigan State
University in the James Madison College. I am seeking a double degree in
Political Theory/Constitutional Democracy and Social Relations/Policy with
a minor in Public Relations. While here at Michigan State University, I am
affiliated with College Democrats, the Alexander Hamilton Society, Common
Sense Action, and much more.

When Hillary Clinton, formally, announced her bid for the 2016 Presidential
Election I was beyond excited and began to think on how I can help her get
into office. I have developed a proposal that I hope can be set in action
by fall of this year:

*I propose that Hillary Clinton open a Michigan Campaign Office, and I
would be happy to run it. *

Running for President of the United States is an intense job that requires
the assistance of willing citizens across the nation. You may think that I
am just a college student and there is no way that I can run a campaign
office, but I am sure that my experience will remove that doubt.

Throughout my high school career (all 4 years) I served as a
district/campaign intern for my State Representative - Stacy Erwin Oakes.
This position included: extensive communication with constituents (phone,
email, face-to-face), canvassing, attending coffee hours, attending
political meetings, *helping run the office*, and much more.

Once I came to Michigan State I served as a legislative intern (1 year) for
State Representative Adam Zemke. My duties included: extensive
communication with constituents (phone, email, face-to-face), research and
analysis on laws/bills. briefing, attending committee meetings, attending
session, making tributes, and scheduling.

I am currently working on a large project that will help benefit the state
of Michigan: Washtenaw community will soon accept President Obama's
call-to-action called My Brother's Keeper. Representative Zemke and I are
just getting started but we have laid out the foundation to accepting this
call to action  - setting up meetings, drafting bills, and making sure it
is in the budget.

If I have not sold you yet it is probably due to my lack of Washington
experience, but that is soon to come. I am pleased to have secured
*two *internships
on Capitol Hill this summer. For the first half - May and June - I will
serve as a press intern in Congressman Kildee's Office. For the second half
- July and August - I am pleased to be a legislative intern in Senator
Stabenow's Office.

When I tell people that I will help get Hillary Clinton into office, they
tell me there is no way that she will make it. I do not take rejection very
well and when people tell me that it makes me want to work *twice *as hard
to do my job. If this proposal is accepted, you will receive nothing but
the best from me. To conclude, as you can see, I will be in Washington for
the entire summer so if you would like to schedule a time to meet/discuss
my thoughts in more depth I would be glad to do so.

Thank you for reading my email and enjoy your day!
