Demand A Competent National Science Policy
It's shocking. We spend more every year on air-conditioning for the military than on NASA's entire budget. And for the last few years, a Republican from Texas has been at the helm of the Congressional Science Committee. And this next session, an even bigger blow awaits NASA and Federal science policy in general: of the three candidates slated to replace Ralph Hall (R-Texas), all are Climate Change Denialists.
Demand that this critical position be given competent stewardship. Our future depends on the critical investments that we make today.

Why is this important?
Our space program has foundered for too long. Do you know that we spend more every year on air conditioning for the military than we do on NASA's entire budget. Tell congress that creating the technologies and jobs of tomorrow is important even in times of economic downturn.
