Thumbs up saving funding for NIH research

Passing this along for folks to consider (via CWE member cateyes64):

"Congress: Don't Cut Life-saving Funding for the National Institutes of Health"

Thanks Nakamova

As much as I agree with this petition it is my understanding that online petitions have no legal weight because of the lack of signature.

I would suggest that Americans on this site find organizations that might have a hard copy of a similar petition to sign.
