I urge all the members of slashdot to contact their representatives as soon as possible. Not only will this result in Fermilab possibly missing the discovery of the Higgs Boson, but it may seal its fate in 2009. Unless the world is confident in our commitment to the International Linear Collider http://www.linearcollider.org/cms/, they may decide to build it somewhere else. Please make difference, call your congressman, Fermilab is too great a resource for this nation to lose. Please remember that Fermilab was one of the First major institutions to make a commitment to Linux. Also, many Linux contributors have been on Fermilab's staff."
