CADCA members from across the nation participated in a scheduled rally on Capitol Hill today. Due to inclement weather the rally was shortened and CADCA members returned to the Convention Center and their respective hotels for rest and others to complete daily work assignments.As NYLI (National Youth Leadership Initiative) Journalists our duty is the capture the stories blended with photos and sometimes conduct interviews with CADCA staff, members, and federal officials. For a first timer visiting Capitol Hill, one would be in awe to be surrounded by the sights and sounds of our Nation's Capitol. With so much history to choose from you would not know where to start taking pictures or selecting people to interview. So we decided to take several pictures around Union Station including a few of the Christopher Columbus Monument and surrounding sights. All in all it was somewhat disappointing because our trip was shortened and some members could not meet with their legislators however we made the best of the Capitol's "Winter Wonderland."

Hey Jordan, Felicia, Cordera and Dave - These are great pictures of the sites and this is the only picture I've seen so far of Capitol Hill during the snow storm. I'm curious, were you able to find your Legislators web pages at www.senate.gov and www.house.gov? Most of the Legislators have email newsletters and links to send them email right on their web pages. In thinking about Sue Thau's Top Ten Ways to Influence the Legislative Process, maybe these two sites will be good sources for connecting and following legislation? What do you think? Are there other websites or blogs that you find helpful?
