I just learned that the new congressman (Eric Swalwell, D-CA) for this
district is a member of the House Science, Space & Technology Committee.
In his district meeting today he talked about the need for much
improvement in U.S. science education.
I am considering writing to him about some metric issue, but I don't want
to write a general pro-metric letter and get a canned reply. I would
rather focus on some specific issue that is before that committee or could
be added to some legislation -- some practical issue narrowly definded.
He seems to be particularly plugged into creating jobs.
Does anyone here have any ideas? If so, do you know of some template that
could be used as the basis of my editing for a proposed action on the
subject? I don't want to do a catch-all letter, but a specific suggestion
on legislation that could be justified in something like three paragraphs.
