The Planetary Society has issued a call to action, for people to contact House Science Committee Chairman Rep. Sherwood Boehlert (R-NY) to demand that NASA not cut their 2006 spending on science priorities like Europa before their 2007 budget has even taken effect; and to demand that they reconsider their priorities in the 2007 budget. Go to our Space Advocacy page for more on how to participate in this campaign. Please participate!

Excuse me, but this is exactly the right time to be yelling from
the grandstands. Most Senators are not concerned about NASA one way or the other, since most do not have major NASA centers in their states. Unless these 70 or 80 Senators hear from their constituents, they are not likely to increase Federal funds for NASA. Senators Mikulski and Hutchison have done their part. Now, the ball is in the court of the space interest community. The Planetary Society, and other space interest groups, should be screaming from the rafters, imploring their members to write, call, e-mail their Senators NOW. Politicians are more willing to vote a certain way if they hear from citizens of their respective states. The Senators need to hear a collective, and loud, yell - We want NASA to have more funding! What are The Planetary Society and other space groups waiting for? Another Phil |
