<p>I was wondering:</p>
<p>What does it take to become a congressional page?
Is it a huge disadvantage if I have a different political ideology than my representative/senator?</p>
<p>ummm...it doesn't really matter if you have a different idealogy than them. it doesn't matter if you're a democrat, republican, liberal, conservative, or moderate to get coffee well</p>
<p>I know that it doesn't matter, but wouldn't my rep take this into consideration, since he alone is making the decision of whether or not to sponsor me?</p>
<p>hmmm...maybe you can just make yourself seem a little more moderate.</p>
<p>Political affiliation doesn't matter at ALL. A page has to show interest and enthusiam in government and politics and being a quick sprinter doesn't hurt either. My Senator and I disagree on a lot of things, but I still mananged to get an intership with him next summer.</p>
<p>be careful on this program! lots of pages are molested/harassed by their bosses.</p>
<p>if you're strong enough, mentally (not necessarly physically), you can stand up to that sort of stuff</p>
<p>namaste: whats up with that?</p>
<p>RickF: that's true.</p>
<p>historic: that's the way powerful men are. in hollywood, in DC, in top corporations. girls and even boys have to be careful.</p>
