Could they perhaps send their data to Sarah Palin and force her to read it? They will have to make appointments with her, of course, at a time when she's not blowing away cariboo, stewing moose and pushing through legislation to shoot wolves from planes.

 

I say this as someone whose family has hunters, who eats vension, etc.: some of these family members did bow and arrow hunting, which imo opinion requires real skill and patience: a far cry from shooting wolves from a plane. I also schedule a yearly program at a suburban library where a real volf, in addition to a coyote, a raccoon, etc are available for children to see - but obviously not pet!

 

P.S. As a lifelong Democrat/independent who has voted for a number of of moderate Republicans over the years, I was ready to vote for McCain until he chose Gov Palin, who imo isn't ready to be a heartbeat away from the Presidency, for many reasons, but especially her stance on science.
