If Dave Lavery becomes vice president, then everyone will be clamoring about him remodeling government buildings with Jello (but of course it will never happen). Either that or he will torture the entire public with game hints.

I can see it now:

"We're signing a new bill that will revolutionize the country's energy sources. The first clue is this picture of a dog chasing Krispy Kremes floating around the International Space Station. Go America!

uh oh, i can just imagine how people will try to overthink that clue, like the moonfish, then FIRST decides to mess with people and have the second clue just be a picture of batman. now someone has to figure out a game that would work with these clues. also, in an effort to not take the thread off topic, CONTACT YOUR LOCAL CONGRESSPERSON!

as long as the clues can stay out of it otherwise nationwide chaos.

Sounds like good ideas

Go to it, men (and women!) I would write, myself-they pretty much have to acknowledge you at least then. The first time, at least >_>

Can we get a concentrated effort on this task? Have a group of people post a draft, let the community help shape it up to fully explain our situation, but not seem too "bleh", then have everyone we know send a copy.

I think that'll get their attention.

Politicians are much more influenced by individual efforts than mass-marketed spam.

True. But sometimes collective efforts can be just as effective.

Wendymom, that is the most amazing piece of writing I've seen on this website. It is no surprise to me that the biggest award a team can receive is NOT for winning the competition, but for inspiring others to see science and technology as a fun, exciting, and rewarding field to go into. More than anything, this is the impact that FIRST will have on my life. What we, as a collective community should do, is let everyone in the country, heck even the world, know what we are about and why it is so important to us. We've already gotten a darn good start on it, as far as I know, but like that old saying goes, "It can always be better." And while we can try our hardest, just like in real life, our hard work may not always be acknowledged, but trust me, I'm sure FIRST has been taken note of.

This is by far the best thing I've heard anyone say in my life: "All this we can do. And all this we will do."
