Sciencedebate 2008 Rally in Philly 3/14/2008

Hey, Philadelphia. If you'd like the presidential candidates to stop yammering about which version of god they like best, and start addressing vital science and technology issues, come on out to the Franklin Institute tomorrow and support Sciencedebate 2008!

Our economy is based almost entirely around science and technology. It's time for the people who want to be president to show that they can address these topics.
