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

I got this message today:

As each day passes I am learning more and more about the way the state operates. Since both the House and Senate removed the $2,000,000 grant, and they did not hold a place for it in the budget, our only hope of having all or a portion of it reinstated is to try to impress upon the leaders of the Appropriations Subcommittees for Education just how valuable this program is.

Our letters have made our mark on the legislators from our district. Now it is time for the appropriations leaders to hear all of us. Here is the email I just sent to the teams for the newest step:


MORE WORK TO BE DONE!

I got word yesterday that the people we really need to reach are the leaders of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees for education. These are the people who can actually make the decision to restore it. Send your email to this string:

scotthummel@house.mi.gov, SenRJelinek@senate.michigan.gov,
SenACropsey@senate.michigan.gov, davidfarhat@house.mi.gov,
SenMSwitalski@senate.michigan.gov, SenNCassis@senate.michigan.gov,
andymeisner@house.mi.gov , gsalpfirst@gmail.com, glennsteil@house.mi.gov, franamos@house.mi.gov,

Here is their district info in case you'd like to call

Senate Appropriations K-12 School Aid & Education:

Ron Jelinek Benton Harbor, Three Oaks 517-373-6960
Alan Cropsey DeWitt 3 517-373-3760
Michael Switalski Sturgis 517-373-7315

House Appropriations School Aid & Dept of Education , Supplementals

Scott Hummel DeWitt- Clinton, Gratiot 517-373-1778
John Moolenar Midland, Saginaw 517-373-1791
David Farhat Muskegon,Ottawa 517-373-3436
Glen Steil Jr Kent 517-373-0840
Fran Amos Oakland 517-373-0615



Remember it is Sec 99(c) of the State School Aid budget we would like reinstated.

Please quickly pass this along to anyone and everyone you know that has heard of FIRST and knows what a fabulous program it is. Urge them to call or email right away!! The committee meets in just a few days. If you have already sent an email please resend it to the string above. It's not over til it's over.

Thanks to all of you. This is the power of FIRST at work!!!!
