My friend Michael Horowitz is running for the position of https://sites.google.com/site/yalecorpnominee/ alumni fellow at Yale, from whose law school he graduated in 1964 (the same class as Jerry Brown and Gary Hart). Michael served as general counsel of OMB in the Reagan administration and is now, operating out of the Hudson Institute, pushing a “Wilberforce agenda” of human rights issues on which he works to create right-left alliances. Here is a testimonial to Michael from one of his allies on the left, testifying to his work on the antoi-human trafficking bill which passed Congress in December 2008 and was signed by President Bush.
“It is safe to say that the legislation would not exist without the whole-hearted passion and the incredible commitment, dedication, skill and determination of Michael Horowitz, a Senior Fellow at the Hudson Institute, who has for over a decade presided over a loose, broad-based coalition of left-right activists who unite in opposition to human slavery and exploitation but differ on almost every other issue. Keeping that group of diverse leaders united and focused is in itself a monumental accomplishment, but satisfying the different expectations required a level of expertise that is rare indeed.”
I’ve already signed a petition to put his name on the ballot and if you’re a Yale graduate you can do so here.
