For my first Republican's club meeting we went from the Republican Headquarters to Seton Hill college to listen to and to meet Senator Brownback and a few other local government officials.

He is a conservative Republican, something I am not, however it was still really cool to meet him.

I asked him what his views on medical Marijuana were and unfortunately he said he wasn't for it because Marijuana is a gate-way drug.

I being the functional pothead that I am cut him off and told him if he looked online he would see hundreds of reports saying otherwise. He said that there were better medicines to cure sicknesses and such (I told him I was a cancer survivor and I know otherwise). But we did agree on the fact that it should be a state issue and not a federal one.

All sorts of people who worked for the various politicians there were taking pictures of the other Republican club members, John and me for their websites. I got to take a picture with Sen. Brownback with my phone (yes the quality is lacking).

Overall this was fun, even though I didn't agree with everything he said it was still nice to talk to all the politicians.

(Oh and I am on the volunteer list for McCain/Palin and when they come to my area I will get to meet them!)

Here's his site:
