At this point in time, I'm very happy to say that much headway has been made in the area of FIRST-oriented legislative efforts. Things are going very well, but we still need much help.
My mother,
Norma Hammes, is one of the main organizers of this effort, and she would like very much for people from two specific areas to contact her. This very message board is hosted by a team from one of said areas, and the density of teams from these areas is otherwise quite high.
We need contact information and assistance from people in teams from the general areas of
Pontiac, Michigan, and
Syracuse, New York. However, please be aware of the fact that teams from anywhere around these two areas may be of great help. As a semi-reference, teams from
Rochester, New York, which is approximately
75 miles from Syracuse, are well within effective range of Syracuse, and are included in this request. Please only respond to this specific request if you're willing to keep in contact with Norma Hammes, via email or telephone, and the specific representative from your area. If you would like to be a primary liason, please email Norma at
this address. Please be sure to use "
FIRST Legislation" as the subject line, so that your email can be easilly identified.
On the other hand, opposite the main liason position, we still want you all to send letters to your respective Congresspersons, especially if you're in the aformentioned areas.
For more information, please PM or email
me, or my brother, Bill Gold, or see
this thread
Thank you all for your support of FIRST.
Everything you do really
does matter.
So perhaps those that are so eager to complain might realize that if they spent a little less time complaining and a little more time analyzing the problem and developing solutions, then they might have a little less to complain about. - dlavery [more]
