Save Arecibo - SETI

Arecibo Observatory, the world's largest radio telescope and the source for the SETI@home data that individual and home computer analyze, faces massive budget cuts that will END its ability to continue the search for life beyond Earth. The decision to ensure full funding currently rests upon votes in Congress on Senate Bill S. 2862 and House Resolution H.R. 3737. These bills desperately need more support. Please take a moment to help us SAVE ARECIBO. Clicking the link to the article or the link in the comments will direct you to a web page that allows you to print out letters prepared for your Senators and Congressional Representative urging them to support Arecibo.

  1. #1    Printing and mailing the letters is really easy, too! You will also have the chance to add a few personal thoughts, if you wish, to let your Senators and Representative know why this funding is important to you! And if you're really feeling passionate about saving Arecibo, please use these letters as the basis for letters you write yourself, urging your congressmen and women to vote to save Arecibo.
    Because our representatives in Congress rarely give much attention to all the email they receive, printing out and MAILING these letters via standard U.S. Postal mail remains our best option for contacting them and our best hope for saving Arecibo (The second best option is to TELEPHONE your representatives). Your 42 cent stamps on these letters could help us get the millions of dollars needed to save Arecibo.

  2. #2    Our search cannot continue without the necessary support. Your work, as SETI@home participants, represents an indispensable resource for conducting the search. Now, we need your help to ensure that our other most valuable resource - our eyes and ears to the cosmos - can continue to probe the universe as we seek to answer the question: Is there anybody out there?
