This past weekend, I got the rare opportunity to see the Washington, D.C., in a rare way that few people get to experience. I got to see the inner workings of our government up close and personal.

This weekend was an especially good time to visit because Congress was in session debating what is one of the most hotly debated issues of our time, the health care reform bill.

Now before I go any deeper, please understand that as a reporter for a small-town newspaper my political views are neutral. I went to Washington with an open heart and mind.

Sen. George Allen to appear.
