Throughout the session, the St. Albans School of Public Service Class of 2011 has taken on the role of "issue advocacy" Political Action Committees, or PACs, and pushed to get Congress to take up the legislation of each of the PACs' devising. Today, the SPS students have switched roles and are now debating the proposed bills as members of "Congress." So far the "SPS Congress" has passed an automatic weapons ban and voted to shore up Social Security by raising the retirement age, but voted down a proposed bill for offshore oil drilling. There is some focused and eloquent argument!
