We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit Restoring Scientific Integrity Network.

The short explanation of this alert was:

Government agencies need to use the best available science to protect our health—setting standards that limit toxins in our drinking water and pollutants in the air we breathe. But a recent presidential directive would give the White House excessive control over the work of federal agencies, making science more vulnerable to political interference. Unless something is done, this directive will embed political appointees inside federal scientific agencies where they could more easily prevent inconvenient science from ever seeing the light of day.
  
Soon, your senator will have the chance to stop this White House power grab by cutting the funds for this directive. Just a few phone calls on this critical issue will make a huge difference.

Illinois Senator Dick Durbin has been leading the fight against this power grab. If you live in any of the following states, please call Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid at (202) 224-3542 to voice your support for Senator Durbin's efforts: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, DC, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, or Wyoming.

If you live in any other state, click here to look up your senator's phone number.
