RNC Convention
This year will be the first year in 12 years that I haven't attended the RNC convention in person. I went to the 2000 convention in Philadelphia and I was about 25 feet away from President George W. Bush when he accepted the nomination. I also went to the 2004 convention in New York City and dragged Israel there with me when we'd only been married for about a month. We went for two nights and were there when Arnold Schwartzenagger spoke, which was pretty cool.
I am a little sad that I'm not there this year, but it was too hard with the pregnancy to take off an entire week of work. I also wasn't too excited about the nominee or the location this year. (If Mitt Romney had been the nominee I definitely would have gone). I know I would have loved to be there and I would have especially loved to hear Sarah Palin speak. So far I have been very impressed with her and I think it's exciting that we have a woman VP candidate (especially one who is not Hilary Clinton).
My cousin posted this funny video on facebook which is a satirical look at the RNC convention this year. I thought it was pretty funny so I decided to post it. I know that lots of people get fed up with politics or are apathetic about the whole political process, but I've always loved politics and I think it's important for ordinary citizens to get involved in the process. I plan to continue to be involved at the state level and I'm definitely going to the national convention in 2012, hopefully as a delegate.

But wait, didn't you help with a democratic fundraiser a couple weeks ago?
