Before The End of This Congressional Year Reverse the Cuts to Federal Science! Federal research is how this country finds cures, builds new technology, and stays ahead. Right now it is being cut back. Research agencies are losing staff. Grants are delayed or canceled. Studies on diseases like Alzheimer's and cancer are put at risk, along with the scientists who give their careers to them. Basic research takes years to pay off. Once a lab shuts down and its researchers leave, they do not come back on command. Families waiting on a treatment pay the price first. Everyone pays later. These cuts are a choice, and Congress controls the money. Lawmakers can decide that science is not a line item to gut for show. They can decide that discovery is worth protecting. Reverse the cuts to federal research agencies, restore the grants and staff they have lost, and protect scientific funding from being gutted again. This is something you can do to show your constituents that you actually care about our health more that the money of billionaires. A Constituent Disgusted With The Way Republicans Are Throwing Away Democracy, And Returning The Country Back To An Age Of Racism & Poverty Of The Dark Ages.
