>Dear Larry Klaes,
>
>Arecibo Observatory, the world's largest radio telescope and the source for
>the SETI_at_home data that your computer analyzes, faces massive budget cuts
>that
>will END its ability to continue the search for life beyond Earth. The
>decision
>to ensure full funding currently rests upon votes in Congress on Senate
>Bill S.
>2862 and House Resolution H.R. 3737. These bills desperately need more
>support.
>
>Please take a moment to help us SAVE ARECIBO.
>
>Clicking the link below will direct you to a web page that allows you to
>print
>out letters prepared for your Senators and Congressional Representative
>urging
>them to support Arecibo. Printing and mailing the letters is really easy,
>too!
>You will also have the chance to add a few personal thoughts, if you wish,
>to
>let your Senators and Representative know why this funding is important to
>you!
>And if you're really feeling passionate about saving Arecibo, please use
>these
>letters as the basis for letters you write yourself, urging your
>congressmen
>and women to vote to save Arecibo.
>
>Because our representatives in Congress rarely give much attention to all
>the
>email they receive, printing out and MAILING these letters via standard
>U.S.
>Postal mail remains our best option for contacting them and our best hope
>for
>saving Arecibo (The second best option is to call your representatives).
>Your
>42 cent stamps on these letters could help us get the millions of dollars
>needed to save Arecibo.
>
>Our search cannot continue without the necessary support. Your work, as
>SETI_at_home participants, represents an indispensable resource for conducting
>the
>search. Now, we need your help to ensure that our other most valuable
>resource
>- our eyes and ears to the cosmos - can continue to probe the universe as
>we
>seek to answer the question: Is there anybody out there?
