science debate

choosing a candidate to vote for in the upcoming presidential elections can be overwhelming. the candidates say a lot about a lot of things. how does one narrow that down? i’ve helped myself cut through the tall weeds by identifying what my top three concerns are in making my choice, and i’ve listened to the candidates with an ear focused on those things. one of my top three issues is advancing science. i really want to see an emphasis placed on our government making decisions based on scientific data and i want an overwhelming movement of support for a broad funding of scientific pursuits. as it turns out, i’m not the only one interested in this. check out sciencedebate 2008 to see what kinds of groups are calling for a presidential candidate debate specifically on the topics of science and technology, health and medicine, and the environment. while you’re at the site, consider clicking on the button marked, “click to support science debate 2008” (or click the link in this post) to add your name as a show of support on furthering the discussion.
