Re: Attn. Michigan Teams: $2,000,000 FIRST Pledge Cancelled

If any of you have the time, especially if you are over 18/a registered voter, give their office a call. Or, convince your parents, if you are able to. You won't reach them, but someone in the office should take your message. I'd think that 10 well-composed, independent phone calls over a two-day period will turn a few more heads than form emails. But if you can't, emails will be better than nothing.

Possible useful things to mention:
1. If you voted for them, say so.
2. State the legislation you want them to support.
3. Why it's important to you and the people (ie voters) you know (your parents?), your community.
4. If you have local sponsors, mention who supports your team, and why.
5. A few brief words about the potential benefits (show that you have some understanding about the bill).
6. Thank them for their time.
