Here are a couple of "We The People" petitions that people here on
the list might be interested in.<br>
<br>
<big><b>Lower the national debt by expanding the government's use of
Free Software such as GNU/Linux and LibreOffice.</b></big><br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wh.gov/kCq">http://wh.gov/kCq</a><br>
<br>
<big><b>Reform copyright law to allow libraries to keep digital
copies of ebooks and other media.</b></big><br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wh.gov/kBt">http://wh.gov/kBt</a><br>
<br>
<big><b>Protect communities from the negative impacts of hydraulic
fracturing (fracking) and natural gas drilling.</b></big><br>
(since I didn't sign this one, I don't have a short link to it - it
can be found off of the open petitions page linked below)<br>
<br>
If these particular petitions don't excite you, I recommend looking
through their list of open petitions to see if there is one you are
interested in: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions#!/petitions">https://wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions#!/petitions</a><br>
<br>
Since this is a new service and the numbers of people signing
petitions is still small, each person here can have a larger impact
than they otherwise would by jumping on this bandwagon early. <br>
