Johnson, Day 3

We live in a country that allows its citizens and foreigners to visit the quarters of the head of state. Today, I visited the White House, and walking through each of the different rooms on the tour was surreal. I was walking in a building where forty-two presidents have previously walked, lived, and worked.

I attended a panel discussion titled, Saving Freedom in Urban Centers. Niger Innis was one of the panel members, Tim, Doc. Turner, Shane, and myself, went up to him to say hello. We remembered most of us, and by most of us I mean everyone but me. The panel interested me very much on the topic of school choice for inner-city children. I don’t live in an area where I have witnessed children not being able to achieve success because of where they go to school, but what the panelist discussed allowed me to better understand.

Texas Congressman, Ron Paul, was accepted with much applause, and chanting. He spoke about his usual view points: small government, ending the fed, and an isolationist view of foreign policy. Many people were chanting, “End the Fed”, which is also the title of one of Paul’s books.
