    NSF funding is crucial for top-notch research projects that advance our understanding of politics worldwide. Eliminating it would be a huge blow to the U.S. scientific community and to its international prestige.

    Political Science Funding is important to keep an honest academic view of our national institutions including the house and Senate. But beyond the American Political Science funding debate there are numerous political scientists working to help understand issues of international relations, war and peace. To defund these pursuits would be shortsighted.

    It will be an embarrassment in the eyes of history that this question was even raised. Please make sure it goes no further.

    I teach at a public university, Indiana University, in a department of political science that has a Nobel Prize winner: prof. Elinor Ostrom. Her pioneering work would not have been possible without NSF political science funding. This in itself should be enough to convince legislators to vote against the proposed amendment.

    How will our political culture move away from corruption and disconnection and towards more collective, community dialogue, debate and involvement without dedicated funds to support reflective study?
