Congressional Delegation View Shuttle Launch

Two Senators have done what other space activists dream of doing: They have brought a dozen other senators to watch a night launch of the shuttle to promote the space program to them. Beyond that, they have given them a tour of the facilities and urged them to increase Government spending on space by billions of dollars and close the gap.

Read about the event here, here, and here.

Odds are, one of these senators represents you. Contact them now and follow up with your voice of support for America's space program! Tell them about the SPACE Act (H.R.4837) and the budget. Tell them specifically how they should vote and why.

Russ Carnahan (D-Mo.)
Brad Miller (D-NC)
Laura Richardson (D-Calif.)
Adrian Smith (D-Wash.)
Phil Gingrey (R–Ga.)
Patrick Kennedy (D-RI)
Mazie Hirono (D-Hi.)
Kay Granger (R–Tex.)
John Shimkus (R-Ill.)
Grace Napolitano (D-Calif.)
Ed Perlmutter (D-Colo.)
John Carter (R-Tex.)
Vic Snyder (D-Ark.)
Dave Reichert (D-Wash.)

While you are at it, tell your other congressman how you feel. Strike while the iron is hot!

It would help it if you knew the difference between a Senator and a Congressman - at least the two from California are NOT Senators:
