We are calling for the Obama administration and the US Congress to increase NASA's funding from its current roughly 0.46% to a whole 1% of the US annual budget. NASA contributes massive amounts of technological, economical and inspiration power to our nation, and we want to see that they are funded to continue doing just that!

Take a look at the portion of North Dakota highlighted in this image. That isn’t a city, and those lights weren’t there 6 years ago…That’s the burning of natural gas from oil fracking rigs.http://www.npr.org/blogs/krulwich/2013/01/16/169511949/a-mysterious-patch-of-light-shows-up-in-the-north-dakota-dark“From your orbital perspective, you can see that something has unmistakably gone wrong. The dominant organisms, whoever they are—who have gone to so much trouble to rework the surface—are simultaneously destroying their ozone layer and their forests, eroding their topsoil, and performing massive, uncontrolled experiments on their planet’s climate. Haven’t they noticed what’s happening? Are they oblivious to their fate? Are they unable to work together on behalf of the environment that sustains them all?Perhaps, you think, it’s time to reassess the conjecture that there’s intelligent life on Earth.” - Carl Sagan, Pale Blue DotTell Congress You Want To Preserve & Cherish The Pale Blue Dot:http://www.penny4nasa.org/take-action/
