Your
Candidates-Your Health 2008:
Take Action to Make Research a Higher Priority in Upcoming Elections
Urge your Congressional
candidates to share their views on health, science, and research!
Visit 2008 Your
Candidates-Your Health and reach out to your candidates requesting
they participate in our voter education initiative.
If your state or territory's
congressional primary has already occurred (Illinois, Indiana, Maryland,
Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico or
Texas), visit Your
Candidates-Your Health and view your candidates' stances on
health and research issues. If your candidate has not responded
to the survey, send him or her a message from the website. Please
be sure to thank candidates who have already responded. Congressional
candidates from other states and territories will be added after
each congressional primary, so check the site often.
According to a recent
public
opinion poll from Research!America and ScienceDebate2008.com:
• 83% of U.S. adults say it is important that presidential
candidates talk about how science and scientific research will affect
their policy-making decisions if they are elected.
• 85% of Americans want a presidential debate on science issues
such as health care, climate change and energy.
You can see all the
results of the poll at www.researchamerica.org.
If you have not already, please sign on to ScienceDebate2008.com
to show your support for a presidential debate on how science will
be used to help tackle America's challenges.

Breakthrough Fabric
|
|
Making contact with almost any fabric can be an agonizing experience for people who
suffer from itchy, dry sensitive skin caused by eczema. Now, a breakthrough fabric
called DermaSmart™ created by Milliken & Company promises to reduce itching and the
appearance of dryness, peeling and scaling commonly associated with sensitive skin.
|
A New Way of Looking at Relief
Traditionally, children and adults with skin conditions accompanied by severe itching,
dryness, redness, irritation, and an extreme sensitivity to touch are treated with either
oral or topical drugs, or a combination of both. DermaSmart™ offers an additional method
for symptom relief. http://www.dermasmart.com
