Science Debate 2008

Now that March 4 is over, all eyes are on Pennsylvania, and the competition is cropping up from others who want the candidates' time for other debates. But some of the most influential names in science and policy are saying our debate is not only the first, but the most important:

All three remaining campaigns have now contacted us and are considering our invitation. They're starting to consider what you knew all along:

Any credible vision for a sustainable and prosperous, secure national future depends on a President's ability to capture the public's imagination on the major policy questions, questions like climate change and economic competitiveness in a global low-cost science and technology economy, like clean energy and education and healthcare and biodiversity and scientific integrity and the recently released Grand Challenges from our friends at the NAE. These questions are of great concern to the American public, and debating them will be an important way to win the moderate swing voters that will determine the outcome of this election. http://www.engineeringchallenges.org/

Please take a moment and do everything you can to encourage the candidates to attend Science Debate 2008, and to tell others about our initiative.
