I have sent the following email to my two US Senators for Texas, my US representative, and a State Senator. Please consider doing the same, especially if you are from TEXAS!



I encourage you to read the following article on how Rhode Island is putting in place a systemic process whereby every high school has a robotics team.

I was catching up on email and found this.

Dear Jane:

Thank you for your communication regarding the successes of the
LASA Robotics Team and for sharing the article about Rhode
Island's efforts to expand science and math education through
robotics. Please let me know of future LASA Robotics events and
successes.

I would also appreciate your thoughts on other issues that may be
considered in Congress. If you have not already, please take a
moment to visit my website at www.house.gov/doggett where you
can complete a survey online.

Please keep me advised of any federal matters on which I may be
of assistance.


Sincerely,
Lloyd
