It doesn't mention how we can get behind Toohey. Sure, teams write their congressmen & congresswomen all the time, but if we have someone in DC who we can rally behind and who can help us be more effective in our own communications, I think we could move things along alot faster. Timing is critical too, since the competitions just ended and the school year is about to let out. Anyone know what team he mentors, or has mentored?

According to Zoominfo.com, Brian Toohey is currently the Sr VP for International Affairs at PhRMA and he held the positions of Sr VP and VP for Regulatory and International Affairs for Segway, Corp.
Can't find any info about his involvement with FIRST teams, though...
