ACTION ALERT: Ask your Congressman about science today!:

The November election will be a critical moment for U.S. science. It's important that voters know where their candidates stand on issues such as climate change, the environment, and soaring energy prices.

With one voice, SEA and 15 prominent scientific and engineering societies are asking all Congressional candidates 7 questions on the science and technology policies that affect all of our lives. These questions were created collaboratively, with input from SEA members. (Thanks!) We've sent them to all of the candidates where primaries have been held so far.

Candidates are much more likely to answer if you ask, too! It's simple; just find your candidates using the zip code search and email them from their SHARP profile pages. Let them know that you think science and technology policy is central to our country's future. Their answers will be posted on the SHARP for all to see.

We'd like to flood their in boxes today with hundreds of emails from concerned citizens. Politicians pay attention to their voters, and together we can show that there is a constituency for science. We can make science and technology a prominent part of the 2008 elections.
