Vote Against American Chemical Society Recommendations

Dear Senators Cornyn and Cruz,
    The American Chemical Society is urging its members to contact their federal Senators asking them to support two pieces of legislation and a policy. I have objection to all three ACS recommendations as follows:
    Support The Energy Savings and Industrial Competitiveness Act
    Please send a letter to your U.S. Senators urging them to support this legislation. This bill would reduce barriers for private sector users and drive adoption of efficiency technologies make the US energy independent, reduce emissions, and foster job creation.
    I urge you to vote AGAINST this bill. We do not need another law telling citizens that they must save money through efficiency. US citizens are smart enough to take advantage of potential savings without government mandates.
    Support The Helium Stewardship Act of 2013
    Please send a letter to your Senators urging them to support S.783, the Helium Stewardship Act of 2013.
    I urge you to vote AGAINST this bill as I have previously done in a earlier writing. Helium has strategic military significance for long-range rocket insulation and for guidance systems in air to air missiles. We need to keep the government reserve. In addition recent commercial production of helium has alleviated temporary shortages and more production is likely to come online. 

    Protect Science Funding
    An alert to urge congress to work towards a bipartisan agreement and to forge a long-term solution to the current fiscal crisis.
    This likely refers to the long history of government research grants to universities. Those grants have two deficiencies; are usually intended to support a government ideology or many times are without merit as to any projection of practical significance to the American public.
    I have said for several years and continue to say, "Get rid of the grants. Private industry will arrange with universities any necessary research work of significance.
