On Monday, the Council on Competitiveness <http://www.compete.org> joined AAAS in becoming an official cosponsor of Science Debate 2008<http://www.sciencedebate2008.com/www/index.php?id=17> . On Tuesday, MSNBC reported on us<http://cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/29/619086.aspx>in their coverage of the State of the Union address. Yesterday, fifty-seven universities and other organizations officially signed on <http://www.sciencedebate2008.com/www/index.php?id=19>! They include big names like Columbia, NYU, University of Washington, Arizona State, University of Minnesota, Michigan Tech, The Carnegie Institution of Washington, the Aspen Institute, and many more. Please check with organizations you belong to about joining this important initiative. And today, click here for a sneak preview<http://www.sciencedebate2008.com/www/index.php?id=18>of something coming we haven't shown anyone else yet - a collection of quotes from some of our signers about why everyone should care about a science debate. It's hard to believe it was just a little over two months ago that screenwriter Matthew Chapman called a few of us up and said "I have an idea, want to try to do it?" Now here we are, 12,000 leaders and 57 organizations strong, representing the hopes and aspirations of millions more. We attribute this rapid success to one thing: your support. Let's keep it building - we are having an impact, and there is more big news to come. Check out the amazing lists of signers here<http://www.sciencedebate2008.com/www/index.php?id=7>and here <https://www.thedatabank.com/dpg/335/support.asp>, and please - forward this to your friends and colleagues and ask them to join this important initiative<https://www.thedatabank.com/dpg/335/personal2.asp?formid=SD2008SU> .
