An Open Letter to the American People
June 21, 2004
Presidential elections present us with choices about our nation's
future. We support John Kerry for President and urge you to join us.
The prosperity, health, environment, and security of Americans depend
on Presidential leadership to sustain our vibrant science and
technology; to encourage education at home and attract talented
scientists and engineers from abroad; and to nurture a business
environment that transforms new knowledge into new opportunities for
creating quality jobs and reaching shared goals.
President Bush and his administration are compromising our future on
each of these counts. By reducing funding for scientific research, they
are undermining the foundation of America's future. By setting
unwarranted restrictions on stem cell research, they are impeding
medical advances. By employing inappropriate immigration practices,
they are turning critical scientific talent away from our shores. And
by ignoring scientific consensus on critical issues such as global
warming, they are threatening the earth's future. Unlike previous
administrations, Republican and Democratic alike, the Bush
administration has ignored unbiased scientific advice in the
policy-making that is so important to our collective welfare.
John Kerry will change all this. He will support strong investments in
science and technology as he restores fiscal responsibility. He will
stimulate the development and deployment of technologies to meet our
economic, energy, environmental, health, and security needs. He will
recreate an America that provides opportunity to all at home or abroad
who can help us make progress together.
John Kerry will restore science to its appropriate place in government
and bring it back into the White House. He is the clear choice for
America's next President.
