Bringing it Home...

After a snowy 5:00 am wake up call, we boarded our plane in Baltimore and returned to Nashville, where our journey began. 

This week we joined a group of close to 10,000 like minded individuals to stimulate our political knowledge and motivation. This week we learned policy, politics, and personal touch from the best in the business. I know I have been motivated by the magnitude of the event, and the sheer momentum that has been created this week. The conservative movement is not dying, nor is it changing, rather we are returning to our core values and principles. 

This was an opportunity to see leaders and influential political figures that we would have otherwise never experienced. 

The CPAC trip has not only expanded my political knowledge and abilities, but it has also been an experience with making new friends and networking with other young professionals. 

I would like to take this time to thank everyone who helped make this trip possible, especially Dr. Turner for your leadership and guidance on this journey. I would also like to thank all 16 of the other students, who helped make this trip memorable and exciting, there was never, NEVER, a dull moment. Lastly I would like to thank everyone who followed our blog and our experiences, without you all, our motivation to bring continuously interesting posts would have been fizzled out by now. I thank you for your support and encouragement. 

As of 3:00 pm CST, there have been 971 blog hits by 435 people in 26 different states. 

Thanks for everything from everyone!!
