Martin Chalfie, 2008 Nobel Prize Laureate

As of yesterday, it has become official that all three 2008 US Nobel Prize Laureates want Obama as president, and encourage people to vote for him on National Election Day, on the 4th of November.

The initiators of the Nobel Prize Laureates support group are Martin Chalfie, Roger Tsien – who won the prize in Chemistry – and Yoichiro Nambu, who was rewarded with the Nobel Prize in Physics.
An open letter has been sent yesterday to all media, on behalf of 65 North American Nobel Prize Laureates, which states the reasons for which Obama gets the endorsement of some of the greatest scientific minds in America.

They all see in Obama the man of vision that the country needs, the leader who will ensure the continuous development of science and technology and with whom they would be happy to work in finding solutions to some of the country’s greatest issues: environment, security, economy.

The scientists also make known in the paper their opinion on the Bush government and on the chaos he has turned America into.
