    Political democracy is fundamental to American society, and it is in the essential interests of the public to do scientific research on this subject.

    Those who ignore political research are doomed to ignorance. That's how societies fail.

    I am a political science doctoral student, and this decision will fundamentally harm how my professors, colleagues, and myself conduct research. It is not the role of Congress to micromanage the NSF and tell them what types of science are worthy of funding. This is an example of uninformed decision-making which will lead to harmful and unintended consequences. I urge you to reconsider this decision. Let the NSF make its own decisions about the quality of science Political Scientists produce and whether or not to fund it.

    we can not make fact based decisions in government if the government does not fund research to determine the facts.

    Without social science research, it will become increasingly difficult to understand how public policy influences society. In addition, social science research can significantly support the design an implementation of efficient and successful public policies
