Annapolis Day 2006 Participants Had This to Say: 

“It was a fascinating day!  I saw the General Assembly in session looking down from the gallery as state senators took calls, checked computers, and responded to floor actions.  Very impressive!” 

“We saw lobbyist receptions, citizens testifying to committees, the beautiful state house, rode elevators with delegates and heard about dozens of new and exciting proposals for legislation over a delicious box lunch. I would definitely recommend this trip. “
 

“I was a virgin! I  had never seen state politics in action before.  Visiting
Annapolis really brought it all home, the critical issues, the direct experience of democracy and our responsibility to participate in it. It was well worth the time and money.”
