Jaelyn at the State Republican Convention

Jaelyn was elected to be the State Chairman for TARS!

(Teenage Republicans)

She was sooooo excited to be able to meet

Mitt Romney and shake his hand.

This was some of the group from Garfield County.
She had a blast!!

I don't know how to add her video, so go to fb to see that.
But she spoke in front of 5,000 people at the convention.
AMAZING!!!! Way to go girl!!!
The following is a poem Jaelyn wrote on April 13, 2008, Entitled
"The Future"

Shall we allow
Our Country to repeat history
To go into depression
Or war or bigotry

Who will we choose
To run the country
Do we truly even care?

Our opinions are vital
We are the next generation
Are we taking a stand today
Or will we fall tomorrow?

Terror fills my thoughts
I hope there are others prepared
For I fear I am not

Am I that one person
Who is to make the difference
Or shall I go on living normally?

NO!
I will not!
I will be an individual
And aspire to pass the test
Of living in this world
Filled with turmoil, dejection, and revolt

If everyone cared
Wanted only the best,
Imagine the things we could achieve:
Helping EVERY dream come true
And creating endless happiness.

I thought that was pretty awesome, especially after her experiences this weekend at the Republican convention. She can make a difference in the world, one step at a time!! I'll share more of her poetry another time.
