Dear Legislative Action Network Member:
Please write <http://www.congressweb.com/t/l/?SLXIFIDUTVOSQYF> your federal
legislators urging them to support President Obama’s budget request for
science and technology investments and to continue working to ensure
American competitiveness in the global economy.
President Obama’s fiscal year 2011 budget proposal strongly emphasizes the
important role that science and technology must play in ensuring continued
U.S. prosperity by making robust investment in federal science agencies,
STEM education, and energy research programs. These robust investments in
science and technology come at the same time that the president has proposed
to limit overall federal spending and maintain overall domestic
discretionary spending at last year’s funding levels — so the proposed
increases are truly remarkable.
Congress is now responding to the budget request by developing a budget
resolution with congressional budget committees tasked with crafting a
framework. This gives other members of Congress parameters on how much can
be spent on government programs and broad recommendations on areas Congress
feels are priorities.
Your letters can help ensure that this budgetary blueprint includes robust
investments in science, technology, and innovation in a year when the budget
will be exceptionally tight. Click

letters today!
Thank you,
