Reclaim Conservatism

Over the weekend I went up to Chicago for the Second annual Sammies Awards put on by the Sam Adams Alliance. It was an award show for those that went above and beyond the call in making the Government more transparent and also for helping get the word out about how Free Markets and Liberty are the way for the government to run.   And they has some good presenters for the event in which I got go talk to afterwords.   I got to sit and talk with Michelle Malkin after the party was over with some other fellow Bloggers and Sam Adam employees.  Also I got to talk a little bit with Joe the Plumber before he left, he was leaving in the morning early to go to more events.

Here is a few of us bloggers before the event..
