Here at the Menendez Campaign, the interns have been hard at work over the past month and a half helping to make sure all aspects of the campaign run smoothly. It's been a blast so far-- from announcement week to primary night to two debates, and the day-to-day operations in
between. We're working our tails off to make sure New Jersey sends Senator Bob Menendez back to Washington so he can continue standing up for New Jersey and fighting the Bush Administration's dangerous and misguided policies.

A couple of us interns were out getting some lunch today, wondering how we could use the Internet to better promote Senator Menendez's
progressive vision for New Jersey, and, in an absolutely "duh" moment for any college student who hasn't been living in a cave for the past two years, we decided to use that ubiquitous social networking site for college students across the nation-- Facebook.

So today, we're pleased to announce that the interns have launched a global Facebook group, entitled "Senator Bob Menendez: Standing Up for
New Jersey", which you can visit here . The goal of the site is to keep college student activists and progressives up to date with all the
latest campaign news, events and discussion. It's an unofficial site, not run by the campaign, but by some of the interns. TJ Helmstetter created the group which, in only its first few hours of existence, already boasts over 100 members from all across the country.

So if you're a college student or recent alum who thinks we need a strong voice to stand up to the Bush agenda in Washington and to stand up for progress and America's future, please join our facebook group  to find out what you can do to help.
