Isn't that exactly what this is preventing though? I'd never been to St. Louis, New Orleans, or Atlanta until this past year when I joined FRC. I want to be able to go to places out of state. I want to see my country and meet people from all different regions who are interested in the same thing as I. Many of my newest friends are from Michigan, and they want to be able to see their out of state friends again at regionals, but this is preventing that. I've been nearly every where in my state, and I'm sure that's a common thing for many FRC students in their own states. I want to go see the places and people I haven't ever been around before. I've said it before...that's just what makes FRC so unique.

I know there are a lot of I's in this post, but I have many friends in Michigan, as I've said, who are very upset with having to do this.
