ZERO CUTS to scientific funding in the 2026 Budget and NO RESCISSIONS!

To: Sen. Durbin, Rep. Schneider, Sen. Duckworth

From: A verified voter in Gurnee, IL

August 4

I’m calling today to ask you to STAND UP FOR SCIENCE. Continuing to invest in the scientific ecosystem of our great nation is important because it: • Provides jobs • Creates entire economies • Keeps the public healthy • Promotes national security • Develops a base of knowledge for innovation • Feeds a healthy democracy The proposed 2026 budget from White House would destroy this ecosystem and remove the US from a position of global leadership. If China is increasing their federal research and development funding 15%, we should be, too! Please vote to increase science funding in 2026 and vote AGAINST any rescissions packages.
