My 18-yr-old daughter, Tina, got to go to Washington DC for 9 days with the Close-Up group from her school. In addition to seeing just about everything there is to see, she also got to sit in on an entire Supreme Court session. She had a great time and learned alot about our government. Here she is with Oregon's Republican Senator, Gordon Smith....

Man, just be glad she had her picture taken with a Republican senator. Otherwise you might've had to disown her!
LOL! Actually, I also have a picture of her with Dem. Rep. Peter DeFazio, but she asked me not to post that one. She assures me she spit in her hand before she shook his.

I was glad to hear that your daughter went to Washington and that she had a great time. There is so much to see and learn about our country and that excitement prevails at our Nations Capitol..Maybe I read too much into this post and I could care less what political party a person was a member of that she was fortunate to meet. If I had started this post I would have become disappointed in some replys. I thought this post was meant to inform us what a great time a young lady had, not to bash certain members of a political party. Guess I was wrong!
