I'm pleased to say we brought in the following new endorsers yesterday:
Congressman Vern Ehlers, R-MI, 3rd District, Michigan, Ranking Republican, House Subcommittee on Research & Science Education
Mark Emmert, President, University Of Washington
Harold M. Evans, Author of They Made America: From the Steam Engine to the Search Engine, Two Hundred Years of Innovators and of The American Century; BBC Columnist, editor at large, The Week

We continue to grow...
