Do Your Civic Duty

Decisions are made by those who show up. So go and cast your vote without delay. Our country's future depends on you.

And as long as you are planning to vote, I'd like to put in a plug for the candidates who support those areas of science, technology, and education that will form the foundation of our future economy.

If you are in any doubt as to which candidates are looking towards the future, just visit these links that the American Association for the Advancement of Science has established to review the science and technology policies of each of the leading candidates.

• Hillary Clinton
• Barack Obama
• John McCain
• Mitt Romney

Without making any specific plugs, let's just say that the Republican party has not been kind to science in the last eight years, and it would be good for this country to realize significant revitalization in those areas. Vote for science and our future!
