But sometimes, one has to deal with other kinds of folks. And figure out what it might take to win them over. Especially those who know (or have a pretty good idea) who the voters are and what a majority of them wants.

apparently she is trying to stop the OMB from attaching rules to research grants that will allow political hacks to determine what science is funded and what is done with the funding. I am attaching a link that I think will work. Susan Collins is mentioned at the end. I hope that she is more than just 'concerned'' but can do something, because this is going to happen in three days.
