I don't like the Bush administration but this is what Republicans do.   I don't think you can blame them.   Blame the people who elected them this last time around.   If they get a better government they were right and if they don't then I was right.   I voted and will again.

Subject: [LivRiv] NIH Employees required to sign off on Bush goals.

This is a cross-post from the Federation for Behavioral, Psychological and Cognitive Sciences.  The story was picked up by the American Psychological Association's Division 6 and put on the listserve.  This is the first time that I have seen the people currently in "power" begin to require what is reminiscent of the "Loyalty Oath" from the McCarthy period.  It should be a BIG red flag. I don't think it matters whether the goals were "non-controversial" or not.  The problem is that it was required at all and that people felt they had to sign off on the statement. We should probably be alerting our Congressional delegations.  Peace and light, Satori

 IN TODAY'S POST: NIH EMPLOYEES MUST SIGN OFF ON BUSH GOALS
The Washington Post published an interesting article today on how employees at the National Institutes of Health were asked to sign a document affirming allegiance to the Administration's goals.  The article states that no other agency within Health and Human Services was asked to do this.  Apparently most of the goals were non-controversial; however, one section referred to the employees' willingness to commit to outsourcing jobs to keep costs down.  Some employees were quoted anonymously as well.  Read the full article on this link:
