Fun and Games:

This was a serious, hard-working week for REP staff and volunteers, but they still managed to have some fun.
Here are a few spontaneous moments worth sharing...

Above: On Wednesday night, after the convention let out, Membership & Development Director Rob Sisson,
Government Affairs Director David Jenkins, and Policy Director Jim DiPeso took advantage of an outdoor news
broadcast and hoisted "REP Supports McCain" signs in front of MSNBC cameras broadcasting live from a park
near the Xcel Center. See the results in the photos at left. Photos by REP President Martha Marks.

Protesters and counter-protesters made St. Paul's streets lively... and noisy.
The REP team managed to stay far away from the violent protesters and the police.

with commentator Gloria Borger.
Above right: Buddy, a professional airline pilot, demonstrated his best presidential pose on the steps of President Nixon's
Air Force One... the very plane he flew to China. It was on display at CivicFest, where REP had its booth.
