This year's presidential election is among the most significant in our
nation's history. The country urgently
needs a visionary leader who can ensure the future of our traditional
strengths in science and technology and
who can harness those strengths to address many of our greatest
problems: energy, disease, climate change,
security, and economic competitiveness.
We are convinced that Senator Barack Obama is such a leader, and we urge
you to join us in supporting him.
***During the administration of George W. Bush, vital parts of our
country's scientific enterprise have been
damaged by stagnant or declining federal support. The government's
scientific advisory process has been
distorted by political considerations. As a result, our once dominant
position in the scientific world has been
shaken and our prosperity has been placed at risk. We have lost time
critical for the development of new
ways to provide energy, treat disease, reverse climate change,
strengthen our security, and improve our
economy.***
We have watched Senator Obama's approach to these issues with
admiration. We especially applaud his
emphasis during the campaign on the power of science and technology to
enhance our nation's
competitiveness. In particular, we support the measures he plans to take
– through new initiatives in
education and training, expanded research funding, an unbiased process
for obtaining scientific advice, and
an appropriate balance of basic and applied research – to meet the
nation's and the world's most urgent needs.
Senator Obama understands that Presidential leadership and federal
investments in science and technology
are crucial elements in successful governance of the world's leading
country. We hope you will join us as we
work together to ensure his election in November.

Dan Quayle is ecstatic about Palin. He's no longer the punchline in
all those "moron" jokes.

I'd like to see her switch places with McCain on the ticket.

Palin has more executive experience than Obama, Biden and McCain combined.

Yeah? George W. Bush had "exec experience." He turned out to be a disaster.

What is important is knowledge, intelligence, and judgment. McPalin has
none of that.

Why do you have to denigrate everyone by making fun of their names?
Seems petty and childish. Is that what they taught you at Yale? When you
can't win the argument start calling names?

I went to High School with a Jenell Laureates.\

I wonder if they're related?

Oh yeah. Here name was pronounced "Law-ree-ah-tis"

I wonder if Nobel pronounces his the same way?

The bigger question is if she's voting for someone with no experience to be
president.

Oh, wait, Obama *did* sign up a bunch of illegal voters.
