In 2008 alone we've (Solar Roadways):

Met with Congressman Bill Sali in D.C.
He offered to earmark (making us pork barrel) our project on a bill in January (09). He wasn't re-elected.

Met with Senator Mike Crapo in D.C.
May be helpful - was very interested and enthusiastic about our project.

Met with Governor "Butch" Otter in Cd'A
Shared that the price of petroleum-based liquid asphalt has risen from $175/ton last December to over $1000/ton in July. All governors share the same problem: we can't afford to build roads out of asphalt anymore.

Met with the mayor of Sandpoint
She is going to place us in touch with some of Clinton's former advisers.

Presented the Solar Roadways to the mayors of Spokane and Liberty Lake
They are planning to place us in touch with Washington politicians.

Currently arranging meetings with:
Senator Shawn Keough
Representative Eric Anderson
Representative George Eskridge

All of these people have been friendly and open to our ideas. Many of them have been very enthusiastic. They just don't seem to know where to go with it.

We're currently working with Booz Allen Hamilton Corporation (building scaled down models for their Future Transportation Lab), Penn State University's Materials Research Institute, the University of Dayton's Research Institute, and the University of Idaho's Transportation engineering staff.

We can make a huge difference if we can only get the funding to continue. How do we actually get in touch with the T. Boone Pickens?

Did you deliver a copy of the petition to Obama or McCain's office? Can you deliver a copy on election day? If so, please let me know! We're hoping to get petitions to all candidate's offices (or political party offices) in all 50 states by the end of election day. It's real easy and a great way to get involved.

If you have already delivered a copy of the petition or if you can tomorrow, please drop me a message and let me know.

Thanks,
Micah Lauer
Regional Leader
