Reply from Sen. Moran
So, right after I graduated, my grandpa was adament that I 'contact my local politicians' about hints and advise about getting into IR/diplomatic posts. This was about 4 months ago or so. Out of the 4 representatives and 3 senators that I contacted (I also contacted a Sen from Iowa who is chair of an Intl Relations sub-committee), I finally got my second reply. The other being the local rep that lives down the street >.>
Dear Mr. Tarpley :
Congratulations on graduating from Griffith University . I hope you were able to share this special day with family and friends even with the distance.
It is encouraging to see your desire to use your education to the fullest extent possible. O ur country has become much more globally connected in the past several years. It is important for Americans to know what is going on around the world and to have an understanding of cultures different from ours. You have had a unique experience. Cherish these memories and I would encourage you to share them with all who will listen.
Again, congratulations and best wishes. Please let me know when I can be of service.
Very truly yours,
Jerry Moran
lol. I thought I had asked for some advise...darn them political interns that answer the mail and impersonate their patrons. Guess my "contribution/bribe" wasn't significant enough...
I had tried to explain to my grandfather what a waste of time that it would be to contact my politicians. But again, at the very least....4 months later, he did actually reply.
