Hey America, did you ask the rest of the world what they thought about that? I don't want some alien finding that and thinking we're any easy target, puny humans and we end up with a War of the Worlds scenario.

If we make contact with intelligent life it will be the end of humanity. We threaten each other with war if a country makes friends with another country we don’t like. Can you imagine what would happen if The US, Russia, China and Europe were all trying to take charge of maintaining that contact. We are nowhere near mature enough as a species for this.
Then there’s the prospect of that life being so much more intelligent than us that we would be no more than poorly trained circus animals to them. For all we know we may already have been observed and ignored.
