Santa Rosa teen earns spot in elite U.S. Senate program | PressDemocrat.com | The Press Democrat | Santa Rosa, CA:

"When Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid asked Montgomery High School student Rena Wang to whistle during an official function, she didn’t wonder why, she wondered, “How loud?”

Wang was at a constituent breakfast with Reid and John Ensign, the two U.S. senators from Nevada, when they told her they needed to get the attention of the crowd and wondered if she could whistle.

Wang, at 17, just might have more political connections, and savvy, than weathered old pros who have spent years wandering Capitol corridors.

So she stepped up and let fly, sharing a good laugh with some of the most powerful politicians in the country."
