Here's a response from my other US Senator: ( better late than never )Below is a response to the recent comments I received from you:
Dear Mr. MonkeyPod:
Thank you for contacting me to express your support for the Arecibo Observatory. I appreciate hearing from you and would like to take this opportunity to respond.
Recently, the National Science Foundation's Division of Astronomical Sciences conducted a review to weigh the relative priorities of current facilities against future requirements for long-term progress in the field of astronomy. This review panel recommended that the National Science Foundation begin to phase out the Arecibo Observatory. Despite the findings of this panel, it is not the National Science Foundation's intention to close the observatory, according to the Director of the National Science Foundation.
In response to the negative recommendation by the review committee, Representative Luis Fortuno (R-PR) introduced a bill (H.R. 3737) that would ensure that the Arecibo Observatory remains fully funded and operational. H.R. 3737 has been referred to the House Committee on Science and Technology, where it awaits further consideration.
I appreciate your support for this important facility. Although no similar legislation has been introduced in the Senate, rest assured that I will keep your thoughts in mind as we proceed in the 110th Congress.
Again, thank you for sharing your thoughtful comments with me. If you have any addition questions or comments, please feel free to contact me. In addition, for more information about issues and activities important to Florida, please sign up for my weekly newsletter at http://martinez.senate.gov.
Sincerely,
Mel Martinez
United States Senator

You're entitled to your opinion, as am I. SETI@Home is not science for one basic reason: it is based on an unproved, and therefore false premise. There is no place for the WAG in the Scientific Method.
When literally trillions of dollars are being spent on things we won't get anything favorable in return for you want to cut the things the rest of the world looks at us with inspiration.
I do?  That's news to me! And I strongly suspect that the minority of Americans who believe in little green men are not garnering the respect of the rest of the world's population that they might imagine that they are.
It's a mistake to abdicate our position as a leader of the positive things in the world. We may not get it back once our check book balances!
Well that ship sailed (and foundered on the rocks) a long time ago. As I said before, if so many Americans believe that finding space aliens is a truly important endeavor, then they will be willing to fund that search with their own money. I have a moderate view of what I think the role Government should be and I think this is one subject that clearly falls into a government sponsored project. I don't work for SETI but I assume it doesn't interfere with the other projects and only uses resources that would be unused at the time. Besides why would a private interest invest millions of dollars into a venture with no possibility for profit? If you made a top one hundred list of scientific discoveries you wouldn't include evidence of intelligent life on another world if it already happened? Wow! The people from other places I talk to still think America is the most inspirational country on the planet despite the fucktards who run it.

Here's a message from one of my Senators, Bill Nelson, in response to my Arecibo letter:
Dear Mr. MonkeyPod:
Thank you for contacting me about pending legislation that ensures the full funding of the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico (S. 2862).
The Arecibo Observatory’s scientific discoveries have immeasurably enhanced our knowledge of the Earth’s atmosphere and the composition of the universe. In addition to research of the Earth’s ionosphere, the Arecibo Observatory led to the first discovery of planets outside our own solar system.
Funding the Arecibo Observatory, through S. 2862, is also in the interests of our national security. Congress has mandated that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration detect, track and catalogue near-Earth asteroids and comets. By being on the forefront of research involving near-Earth objects, the Arecibo Observatory is an outstanding resource for our national security. To that end, I have introduced language in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Authorization Act of 2008 that would continue the availability of the Arecibo Observatory's planetary radar to support NASA’s program on near-Earth objects.
Florida and the nation benefit from strong support of scientific research. At this time of growing budget deficits, we must be increasingly vigilant about how we spend the taxpayer’s money. I do believe, however, that we must protect and support our investment in scientific and space-related research. Please know that I will keep your concerns in mind should this funding issue come before the full Senate.
I appreciate your taking the time to share your concerns with me. Please don’t hesitate to contact me in the future.
