In this fashion, they should not be able to thwart legislation that they were unable to defeat in Congress. [Res. 13, 1992]
Strong campaign finance reform legislation is needed to keep large campaign donors from buying influence in government and denying us government that protects the long-term interests of all its citizens. The natural environment will not be safe as long as corporate and land development interests have so much influence. However, the campaign finance reform bill should not infringe on the free-speech rights of nonprofit groups. [Res. 20, 2001]
The findings of scientists should not be censored, altered or suppressed by political appointees. This would constitute a breach of trust between the public and scientists. Appropriate action on such urgent issues as global warming and species extinction requires access to accurate scientific findings, as well as peer review. [Res. 11, 2008]
