...illegal for a Representative or Senator to so much as sign a fund-raising letter for a local candidate, says Federal Election Commission chairman David Mason. Though the law doesn't go into effect until November, party officials are already reacting. Indiana's state Democratic Party notified Senator Evan Bayh and Representatives Julia Carson and Baron Hill that they will probably be evicted from the offices their campaigns rent in the state party HQ in Indianapolis. Indiana Democratic chairman Peter Manous says the party will no longer be able to tout the popular Bayh on its yard signs. Party officials...
...before George W. Bush delivered his State of the Union address last week, Senate majority leader Tom Daschle flew to New York City for a private lunch with 50 or so Democratic donors, organized by Indiana Senator Evan Bayh. As Daschle made the case for why his party could pick up seats in the coming midterm elections, despite Bush's 80% job-approval ratings, an Alabama lawyer, Tazewell Shepard, cut through Daschle's gauzy talk.

Yet Bush should not limit himself to the vision of using volunteers to assist solely in civil defense—McCain and Bayh set out a much bolder vision for public service in the future that extends beyond our nation’s borders...
...aspect of the Bayh and McCain proposal that Harvard students should especially welcome is the expansion of funds for federal work study, particularly work study that allows students to do community service instead of low-skilled jobs. In their opinion piece, Bayh and McCain chastise universities for using federal work study to pay students in low-skilled jobs, the equivalent of using work study to subsidize universities. While there is no evidence of this type of abuse at Harvard, we hope that students participating in work study will be able to take jobs that benefit the communities they live...
