Keith’s note: according to AFA: “Astronauts For America (AFA) [astronautsforamerica.org] will host a launch event on Monday, July 20, 2026 in the California Science Center’s future Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center to announce a “Vote for Freedom” campaign to call on Americans – particularly young and first-time voters – to exercise their right to vote in the upcoming midterm elections. The event also serves as the kickoff of a fundraising campaign to support AFA’s four-month tour of colleges across the country leading up to the November elections. … Astronauts For America is a nonpartisan, 501(C)(3) nonprofit organization founded by over 100 former NASA astronauts dedicated to defending the U.S. Constitution, restoring public trust in democratic institutions, and promoting evidence-based, data-driven leadership.” More to follow.
