Today I Wonder ... How fast can a person learn???

I attended the "Winning America Back" conference in Kansas City with Sarah Palin this weekend. I will give my review later in my CapitalinKC blog. But the realization that I came to, was that I have been so busy trying to learn national politics, that I have completely ignored local and state politics!! Shame on me!! How fast can I play catch up? How fast can I learn?



At the conference, there were tables and tables of candidates that are running for local offices and state offices, and except for the well known names I was clueless! Just because a name is well known does not make that candidate the best one for the job.



Yesterday my education started in local and state politics. I am also looking for local conservative groups to check out to join, or even possibly start my own .... so if you know of local groups or would be interested in joining this learning experience with me let me know :)



It is Monday ... the start of a new week, find a smile and share it with others so that you might help them have a wonderful week :)

Today I have Serious Wonders

Today I attended the Tea Party in Kansas City. It was an experience I will never forget. I stood there in a crowd of approx. 4000 people and my little head was spinning with wonders!

Where did all these people come from? Had they ever attended anything like this before? Who made the signs for these men? (Somehow, I never imagined men making signs...giggle) Hey it was COOL!!! When did they become so passionate about politics and their beliefs? Were they all republicans? I don't really think so ... I am betting a few Ron Paul supporters were there and I am not sure what they consider themselves :) Hey he has some good ideas, not I am not dissing him, just wondering!

I wonder...how many more people are out there, that did not come to the rally, but have the same strong beliefs as the people at the rally today? Why did they not attend? But then....this whole rally thing is a bit different for conservative types ... maybe next time they will join in too ... I wonder.

The people that were there today, was this a one time thing for them? Will they find organizations to support and become involved in that will continue what was started today? I wonder ....

What I really WONDER about is ...... what am I going to do, to not let this die in my life! How can I help keep this movement going? I WONDER ....
