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.)
