Lunch With The Congressmen

I (and a few hundred of my closest friends) had the privilege of having lunch today with 5 current or former Congressmen. The lunch included former Congressman Butler, former (and future?) Congressman Goode, Congressman Wittman, Congressman Goodlatte and Congressman Cantor. Regardless of your political affiliation, it is a unique treat to attend an event like this.

Don't have time for a full recap but let me just say this was a great event. "Anyone who is anyone" (that's a joke - kind of) was there. Cantor especially gave a great speech. He laid out a true vision and message to address the needs of the American people. We can't be the "No" Party and we can't be the ideologue party. We have the right ideas of individual empowerment, reduced governmental burdens, etc. We just need to enunciate our message and give the American people a reason to return to our party. If the attendance and vibe of this event was any indication, the renaissance has begun.
