I NEED YOUR HELP AGAIN TODAY.<\/b><\/div>\n
In July, I asked for your help in writing letters to your legislators to make sure our State Grant continued. The state received over 14,000 emails from FIRST teams!!\u00a0 That was AMAZING.<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Once again, we need to\u00a0FLOOD<\/span><\/b>\u00a0each legislator’s inbox and voicemail urging them to support the 99h Robotics grant.\u00a0BUDGET DECISIONS ARE IMMINENT.\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So, even if you did it in July, please email and call your legislators today.<\/div>\n

We have made this process super simple for you by creating personalized letters that you can copy and paste into an email to send to your legislators. Phone numbers are included this\u00a0time, too.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Once you’ve done it yourself, please ask everyone you\u00a0know to do the\u00a0same: team parents, team mentors, sponsors, family, school staff.\u00a0 Together, we can ensure that our State Grant continues for FIRST.\u00a0 Let’s shoot for 20,000 calls and emails this time! Let’s show the State how important this grant is to FIRST teams.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Thanks!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
