Today started EARLY! Students had the opportunity to run with Senator Chuck Grassley on a 2 mile run. Start time? 4:15 A.M. 20 students and 3 chaperones took up the opportunity and are all were grateful that they did. While on the run students filtered to the front to run beside Grassley and ask him questions. Some of those questions included what his favorite food is, does he plan to run for re-election, and what his greatest accomplishment is.
Breakfast again was at Crystal City Sports Pub. After eating we then headed to the White House where everyone had the chance to get a photo with it and made sure to get a large group photo of everyone as well. From there we went to Capitol Hill where students met with their state representatives and senators. Topics that were discussed included how the senators and representatives got started in their political career, what they're doing to solve the current skyrocketing gas prices, keeping children fed during the summer months, and what committees each of them serve on.
