    Political science education and funding is critical if we wish to keep our democracy alive. Do not threaten NSF funding!

    Political Science, as a discipline, is not sustainable without the government grants that form the basis of other social science disciplines. I have invested ten years into an academic career in political science, and the likelihood of my being able to find a job in this area without this funding is virtually eliminated. With that, my ability to provide for myself and my family, will also be substantially diminished.

    Judging by the recent performance by a vocal minority of congress that has gummed up the works, we need more social science education. Poli Sci and history are the backbone of democracy and civil society.

    Many important social, political, and economic problems are addressed using NSF funds. We must continue to support public funding of such vital research.

    As a student of political science who has and will continue to benefit from National Science Foundation funding in many ways, I am appalled at the prospect that Congress would eliminate NSF funding for political science. Research conducted using NSF funds has been vital for both our understanding and improvement of democratic engagement in the United States, and congress members who oppose this funding clearly care little about promoting understanding and engagement in the political process in the United States.

    Americans need civic education! We are lacking in this area.
