Our day at the Capitol got off to an early start today. We ate breakfast in the Capitol’s cafeteria, and then went to a morning event sponsored by Senator Boozman, followed by committee meetings, and a whole slew of activities in between. As we’ve said before, you can tag along with us at the Capitol by following Family Council on Facebook and Twitter.
Below are some pictures of the day’s activities.

The Bureau of Legislative Research is in charge of drafting legislation at the request of lawmakers. A few legislative committees also meet in their building.
