This one on Laura Ingalls Wilder!

Take a look at my petition against anti-science Congressmen in scientific positions

I've put up a petition against Paul Broun (R, Georgia) who's on record as stating that he believes multiple scientific principles from Evolution to the Big Bang are "lies from hell". And he's on the Committee for Science, Space, and Technology? Sorry, no. Get outta there.

Apparently Congressional Wingnuts are ORGANIZED.

This was pointed out on Usenet after I mentioned the petition I set up to get Paul "Science is lies from hell" Broun kicked off the Committee for Science, Space, and Technology.

I have nothing against Congressmen being religious -- ON THEIR OWN TIME. But on *MY* time, the separation of Church and State comes hammering down, and when it comes to science, anyone on a committee even vaguely to do with it had best be accepting that science exists and not as "lies from hell".
