Contact your legislators!
Below is contact information for all legislators involved in funding and oversight of federally-funded science research by state. Remember, these folks represent your priorities.
The next Congress will almost certainly pass a full budget, rather than a continuing resolution, so now is an excellent time to give your representatives a call. Let them know that you're one of their constituents, and that you consider federal funding for basic science research a priority.
