I received the following email and urge readers to call your Senators and encourage them to support the National Science Foundation! Here's why. Having worked in a Senate office, I can assure you that every call matters. The details:
Call your Senators by 5:00 ET today to urge them to support the House Appropriations Committee funding level of $6,859,867,000 (same funding level as for FY 2011) for the National Science Foundation (NSF) in fiscal year (FY) 2012.
