Subject: ACS Alert--Support DOE Office of Science and NSF Funding
To: aspuru(a)chemistry.harvard.edu
*Office of Public Affairs*
Dear ACS Legislative Action Network member:
Please link *here* <http://www.congressweb.com/t/l/?SABJOHKDMTBMNCU> to
contact your U.S. Representative by Wednesday, March 17, and urge support
for increased funding of basic research at the Department of Energy’s (DOE)
Office of Science and the National Science Foundation (NSF) by signing onto
a congressional ‘dear colleague’ letter.
Right now, our allies in Congress are encouraging their peers to support
basic research funding. One method for generating momentum is ‘dear
colleague’ letters. By signing onto these statements legislators send a
unified and bipartisan message to House leaders, appropriators, and
authorizers about the importance of basic research.
We recommend that you ask your Representative to support both the DOE Office
of Science and NSF ‘dear colleague’ letters and that you modify the form
letters we provide to explain your connection to the agencies (grants,
educational programs, importance of science, etc.).
Just link to the Legislative Action
Center<http://www.congressweb.com/t/l/?SABJOHKDMTQAAMY>to tell your
U.S. Representative to make basic research a funding priority.
