Democrats: Stand strong against Tea Party Republicans
From the government shutdown to the debt ceiling, Tea Party Republicans have wreaked enough havoc on our country. Democrats must stand strong -- demand a vote on a clean continuing resolution to reopen the government -- and don't capitulate on Social Security, Obamacare, or other vital programs.In addition, please bring back science funding now! Allow scientists at the NIH, and all NIH-funded scientists including me, to get our jobs done and continue contributing to society.
Why is this important?
Republican extremism has impacted me in this way: As a scientist, I am extremely proud of how my profession contributes to society in a deep and lasting way. The government shutdown is not only hurting science progress on a day to day basis right now, it is putting at risk years and years of investment. Bring back science funding now! Allow scientists at the NIH, and all NIH-funded scientists including me, to get our jobs done and continue contributing to society.
