Well, this request is mainly directed towards adults (e.g. mentors, parents, and engineers) who are willing to act as direct representatives of this pro-FIRST legislative effort to local Congressional Representatives.
These representatives are key members of the House Appropriations Subcommittee. Joe Knollenberg (R) is the member for the area of Pontiac, Michigan, and James Walsh (R), who is the Chairman of the subcommittee, is the representative for the area of Syracuse, New York.
If anyone is interested, please email Norma Hammes at
norma@goha.com, using the subject line "FIRST Legislation", with contact information.
Even if you aren't able to act as a liason to these members, please send letters and email to them.
Joe Knollenberg can be reached at
