An open letter to the President & U.S. Congress; State Governors & Legislatures

Address Concerns About Science Denial in Policy Making

16 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

I am writing to express my deep concern about the apparent dismissal of scientific evidence in policy-making decisions. As your constituent, I believe it is crucial that our representatives base their decisions on factual, peer-reviewed scientific information, especially when addressing complex issues that affect our community and nation. Scientific consensus, built on rigorous research and data analysis, should be the foundation of our policy decisions. Whether we're dealing with public health crises, environmental challenges, or technological advancements, ignoring scientific expertise can lead to harmful consequences for our society. I urge you to commit to evidence-based policy making. This means consulting with reputable scientists, considering peer-reviewed studies, and making decisions that align with the best available scientific knowledge. It's essential to distinguish between legitimate scientific debate and unfounded skepticism that can delay crucial action on pressing issues. Furthermore, I request that you support increased funding for scientific research and education. A well-informed populace and a robust scientific community are vital for our nation's progress and global competitiveness. By embracing science and facts, we can address challenges more effectively and ensure a brighter future for all constituents. I look forward to seeing how you will incorporate scientific evidence into your policy decisions and legislative actions moving forward.
