Political Rally with Paul Ryan - Des Moines, Iowa
This was my first EVER political rally! I had a blast. It was high energy and lots of fun. Because of inclement weather the rally was moved from an outdoor amphitheater to a hotel ballroom.

The event began at 3:00 PM and consisted of lots of people speaking and warming up the crowd before Mr. Ryan came out and spoke for 35 - 40 minutes. The other people were the local and state Republican party chairs, a former governor of Iowa, Robert Ray, two candidates for the State Senate, two sitting national congressmen, Steve King and Tom Latham, and the current governor of Iowa Terry Branstad.
It was refreshing to be with like-minded people and cheer on candidates who promise to restore the greatness of America. I'm impressed with Mr. Ryan's enthusiasm and his honesty. He repeated several times that Mr. Romney and he will not dodge the tough issues, but address them head on and lead from the front. They will not blame others, but step up to take responsibility to restore the principles that have made America strong, great and prosperous.
My friend and I had a great time at the rally and on the two hour drive there and home. Wonderful adventure!
