Open Access: The People’s Petition

Petitions don't do a whole lot for me (I'd much rather see spontaneous individual demonstrations of support). And petitions especially to some other government (like, say, the American government) don't do anything for me. But they've become vogue recently as a way to engage people into talking about open access and open education. Hence an initiative called Access2Research decidedto launch a petition on the "We the People" site — which was introduced on whitehouse.gov by the US government last September — and invite the public to sign it." It's being supported by OERu and Saylor and others.
