WELCOME! Good to have you here.


You have power. Use it wisely. Make it matter.

At Lucy Left you're encouraged to leave comments, keeping this request in mind: Say what you mean and mean what you say, just don't say it mean. Lucy's not a fan of vitriol. This is a place to find information and opinion, a place to have a laugh now and then and to feel less alone in the political madness.

Be well, speak up for what is right and true (even if your voice shakes), and come back soon!

68 Nobel Scientists Endorse President Obama

The GOP base and Congressional Republicans deny the critical climate science that shows our planet rapidly warming; despite the icecaps melting, they proclaim climate change a "hoax."  They deny evolution in favor of the creationism mythology and would throw unused embryonic stem cells in the trash instead of using them in the service of researching diseases such as cancer, MS, Parkinsons and many others.   While the Nobel scientists' endorsement isn't surprising, it is meaningful.  I think it speaks volumes and draws a stark contrast between the candidates.   Here's the announcement:

The Center for American Progress Action Fund today received an open letter co-signed by 68 Nobel laureates in physics, chemistry, and medicine. The letter strongly endorses President Barack Obama’s science policies. “America’s economic future,” the letter begins, “depends on our ability to continue America’s proud legacy of discovery and invention.”
