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.
