(Pittsburgh, PA) The Allegheny Institute is a non-profit research and education organization. Our mission is to defend the interests of taxpayers, citizens and businesses against an increasingly burdensome and intrusive government. To that end, we will formulate and advocate public policies that roll back the size and scope of local government as well as create a more accountable government. Our efforts will be guided by the principles of free enterprise, property rights, civil society and individual freedom that are the bedrock upon which this nation was founded. http://alleghenyinstitute.org/

America's Future Foundation: AFF's mission is to identify and develop the next generation of conservative and libertarian leaders. AFF targets conservative and libertarian professionals in their second stage of development as leaders and offers them the chance to develop their skills--to debate, publish, strategize, reflect, govern, and learn.

Americans for Tax Reform: ATR opposes all tax increases as a matter of principle and works toward a system in which taxes are simpler, fairer, flatter, more visible, and lower than they are today. Since 1986, ATR has been leading the fight to bring tax relief and to stop new avenues of taxation. Americans for Tax Reform strongly supports the concept of a single rate, flat tax, and works to reduce the number of times the same money is taxed. Interns Associates are assigned primarily to one staff member in federal or state policy and work on projects such as the Taxpayer Protection Pledge, the American Shareholders Association, the Ronald Reagan Legacy Project, the Cost of Government Day, state coalition building, and writing press releases, letters, and blogs entries. Applicants should have a strong interest in tax reform and economic policy.
