Citizens for Science

Nikhil (Nick) Rao, recently elected to the Board of Governors of Oklahomans for Excellence in Science Education (OESE, http://www.biosurvey.ou.edu/oese/) has now launched this new national group that has already received a lot of attention in the blogosphere and the mission statement in support of the group is receiving signatures.

John Derbyshire, conservative columnist and contributor to National Review Online, has posted his support and signed the statement, as have several other conservative spokespersons. The Scientific American editors blog has applauded the effort. The site is at www.caidweb.org. Anyone of a conservative political bent (Republicans, conservative independents, libertarians, etc.) is encouraged to visit the CAID site and sign on. Help spread the word to individuals, organizations, blog sites, media outlets, etc.
