Then get busy and find out how to do it." — Teddy Roosevelt    Amanda R Hillman Your name: Your email: Recipient's name: Recipient's email: Message: School: University of Minnesota-Twin Cities Member of: Reducing our dependence on foreign, harmful, and unsustainable energy Midwestern Schools Rebuilding the Criminal Justice System University of Minnesota-Twin Cities Global Policy & Politics Contact info: Contact Email:  amanda.hillman(AT)gmail.com Policy interests: Energy, Environment, Fair and clean politics, Government reform, Healthcare, International development, International security, Political strategy, Public administration and management, Social policy, Sustainability As senior at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, I'm looking forward to graduating with degrees in Political Science and Global Studies, with a focus on the Middle East and nation building.  I'm a restless soul who spent two years at American University in DC, and numerous months in the Middle East, absorbing culture, history, and the chaos that is characterisitic to both. I believe in the potential of creative, engaging, progressive minds. I believe that words are nothing without action. I believe that we have only a short time to be passionate. I've seen incredible grassroots politicking and feel strongly about the possibilities of people power and ideas backed with determination and follow-up. I've seen extraordinary people accomplish impossible goals and I know that we can't settle for less than our best. As a current student of the Constitution and the Presidency, I care deeply about the ideals, values, and hopes of our Founders. I believe in statesmanship and the possibilities of a world in which great nations embrace their responsibilities, potential and each other. I'm excited to be a part of Roosevelt and look forward to all that the Minnesota chapter can accomplish.
