UCS - Congress Votes Wednesday on Censoring Science
Tuesday, June 13th, 2006
The following is an excerpt from a recent Union of Concerned Scientists action alert:
Congress Votes Wednesday on Censoring Science
On issues from air quality to global warming, federal government scientific information is being censored, manipulated, and distorted and scientists are being muzzled. In an effort to limit this dangerous practice, Representative Brad Miller (D-NC) will introduce an amendment in the House Science Committee on Wednesday. The amendment would help prevent political interference in science at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which works on issues like global warming, weather predictions, and endangered species. Please call today and urge your representative, a member of the committee, to keep politics out of science by supporting the Miller amendment to Wednesday’s NOAA Organics legislation (H.R. 5450).
A list of talking points is available on their website.
