Last evening, President Obama broadcasted his support for biomedical research and science generally. These are heartening and optimistic words during difficult times. He deserves encouragement that he's doing the right thing, and feedback that we support him staying the course during this year's spirited budget negotiations.
I strongly encourage you to add your voices to this debate, and embolden your legislators by indicating how our research produces a highly favorable return on government's investment.
Thanks, Mark

Dear Colleague:In his State of the Union address, President Barack Obama voiced strong support for increased investment in education, research, and infrastructure, specifically noting the promise of biomedical research. I have issued a press release <http://www.faseb.org/Portals/0/PDFs/opa/1.26.2011%20State%20of%20Union%20press%20release.pdf> praising the President's acknowledgment of the importance of our continued progress in science and technology.We need to show our support for this vision. Please take a moment and send a note of appreciation to President Obama and his Science Advisor, John Holdren. You can send the letter exactly as it is, or you can change it to include your own thank-you message.Thank you for your continued support,William Talman
FASEB President
