I am really grateful to be able to speak with you this morning about one of my favorite programs and FMC's biggest program, Congress to Campus. I love Congress to Campus. As some of you know, the Congress to Campus program brings bipartisan pairs of former Members of Congress to college campuses for 1\1/2\ to 3 days to meet with classes, student groups, clubs, local media, faculty, and other members of a college campus community to engage in frank and honest dialogues about our legislative branch in action, public service, and our democracy and the role that citizens play. We talk about current legislative issues and other topics dictated by the headlines. The way it works is a bipartisan team of former Members share real- life experiences in both political and public realms. They discuss their unique experiences balancing public and private lives, giving an unparalleled insight into the many roles of our elected Representatives.
