Vermont & NIH (urgent)

I know people hate politics on here, but you need to call Gov. Scott at ☎️ 802 828-3333 and tell him NO to NIH funding cuts.

NIH funding cuts proposed last week will negatively impact our little state. We currently have 129 active NIH grants, amounting to about $89M. This will hit UVM, the UVM Cancer Center, Middlebury College, Johnson University (Whatever its current name is), Veteran's research, and private biomedical companies across the state from Putney to Williston. It will also hurt New Hampshire and Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center (largest recipient of grants in NH).

Call Senate Majority Leader John Thune ☎️ (202) 224-2321 to say NO to NIH funding cuts.
Call House Speaker Michael Johnson at ☎️ (202) 225-2777 to protest as well

☎️ Phone shy -- don't worry, probably will get voice mail. Leave your name and message and ask that the message be passed along.

Call them today so they have a bunch of voicemail to tally on Monday morning!

If you want to call your Vermont Delegation (tell them you want more resistance and thank them for their support).
