US dept of Commerce repressing facts

Believe it or not, the US department of Commerce is refusing to release an objective study to congress even though
congress ordered the study in the first place.

3. They do care
It's US who do not care.

Follow that link. That's a congress representative trying to blogs in a desperate attempt to garner support for what
to me is a very outrageous thing.

The US department of Commerce is dictating to congress what they can and cannot know!

Please follow the link and help out the congressman.

With a response like he's gotten, no wonder so many fall to lobbyists. Like a jilted lover we're treating the guy.

7. yup, this is an action request
Ya all, if you have a dailykos account please go recommend the congressman's diary so we can get some awareness...

plus he's requesting you call your house rep.

if nobody bothers and tries we're nowhere.

8. I'll Email Him
I've got econometric studies that demonstrate a completely different set of data than are being reported by both of these departments.

12. List of Science Committee members
http://www.house.gov/science/committeeinfo/members/index.htm

As far as I know the House Republicans are trying to keep the study suppressed and the house Dems are going to vote yes to release the study.
