What an experience! Making the trip to Topeka with my knees up to my chest on a school bus was well worth it. I was told the Reno County group was the largest one there. The Governor and Lt. Governor gave great speeches and really got the crowd fired up. Jade and I had a chance to speak with Rep. Mark Treaster and I would like to extend a huge thank you to him. He has stood his ground against bill 327 and chose to listen to his morals instead of doing the popular thing in Topeka and following the crowd. He said he had received only one call to change his position. That's not because the lobbyists aren't trying hard. It's because he has a reputation of doing what is right for the people of Kansas and they know they can't change him. Overall, I feel that the day was a huge success. Our voices were heard let's just hope that our legislators listen. If you saw todays newspaper you noticed the the YP members were front and center. Fortunately, they had Jade in the picture to offset my ugly mug.

You presented Reno County and YP very well. I'm proud that you and Jade were able to go and was very excited to see your picture in the paper.
