The Convention

I know this has been a really long time since i have written anything, but now I have a little bit of time to sit down and give a little report from the most amazing trip ever!!!

Day half, this was travel day and get all your identification in order so we could get in to the convention. So we are in this meeting we the ladies who are running the Idaho Delegation getting everything in order, and one of them gave me a pin that I really liked so that was kind of cool!! I was just talking to one of the ladies and guess who walks in… none other then JOHN VOIGHT!!!!! It was so crazy. He just walked in like he knew us all. He talked with us, took pictures with us, and was so down to earth, it was way cool. He was with another actor named Robert Davi, who was the bad guy in the “Goonies”. They are both in a movie coming out in October called “The American Carol”. All in all tonight was pretty freaking cool!!!

So this is the first real day of the trip, and it has been amazing!! This morning we tried to go to church but that did not work out so well because we did not know where it was and then we missed the bus. Sad DayL While we were waiting to go over to the convention center there was a HUGE liberal demonstration that was going on in front of our hotel. They were freaking crazy!!! So this afternoon we went to a reception type thing to welcome all the Delegates to the Convention, and it was FANTASTIC!!!! Lee Greenwood preformed and the entire crowd was going crazy, it was so much fun!! We were also able to screen a movie that is coming out in October called “The American Carol” It is a little bit like “A Christmas Carol” but making fun of liberals, I thought is was really funny. It is stupid humor but it made me laugh. Then we were able to go to a convention and got to do all this crazy fun stuff like taking fun pictures in front of Air Force One, in the Oval Office, We even got sworn in as President of he United States, AMAZING!!!! It has been pretty much an amazing day!!!

Before the convention every day there were different receptions that we could go to. We went to one where Mitt Romney was, I did nto get to meet him though :( There were so many people trying to get to him, and then he was wisked away for another meeting. I was a little disappointed about not meeting Mitt I did get to meet Congressman JC Watts, AMAZING!!!! He was so nice, he talked to me about school and all that, it was really nice to see that he is a normal person.

The convetion it self was awesome! I never thouht i would have the opportuinty to see all this unfold in front of me. I was given the chance to go onto the floor and hear a bunch of speakers. I heard from Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, which I was not really impressed with at all, Rudy Guliani, and The most amazing woman ever Sarah Palin. There are no words to tell how fabulous this was.

I really can say that Sarah Palin is the right person for the job. The final day of the convention I was in the FOXNEWS Stragety Room and was interviewed by Brian Wilson on LIVE TV!!! He asked me what I thought of Sarah Palin and what she is doing for women in politics, I thought I was so cool:)

John McCain spoke and there were a couple of protesters that got in, that was kind of funny to watch them mke fools of them selves, but after the speech I got to go back on to the floor and was on FOXNEWS again behind Jim Angle while he was giving his report of the convention.

I got to be apart of the American Political System and I am still on my high from it. I do not think I have screamed so much in my whole life, and now I think my voice is totally ruined, but it was worth it!!!

I almost forgot this part, We went to a Lee Greewood concert, which was AMAZING!!! and I saw Henry Kissengr, he was about 5 feet away from me, and First Lady Laura Bush came to a breakfast for the people from Idaho, it was great!

Thank you to all who helped me to get there, I can not thank you enough for what you have done for me.
