Candidates invited to ScienceDebate2008, and it's in my home state!

It’s official. Hillary Clinton, Mike Huckabee, John McCain, and Barack Obama have been invited to ScienceDebate2008.

The location? Philadelphia’s Franklin Institute, named after one of our nation’s greatest scientists (and greatest patriots). The date? April 18, just before the Pennsylvania Primary.

If there was ever a time that we need your help, it’s now. We need to make a ton of noise about this. We need to make the campaigns say they’ll come to the Philly debate. (As a Pittsburgher, I’d rather have them in Western PA, but I admit to liking Philadelphia as long as we’re not talking baseball, football, or hockey.)

A list of things you can do–contacting the campaigns, writing letters to the editor, further spreading word about ScienceDebate2008–and how you can do them can be found here:
