On May 21, a petition calling for public access to all federally funded research was posted to the White House’s "We the People" Web site. The petition has received over 26,500 signatures, ensuring it will be reviewed by White House staff and considered for action.

You are encouraged to sign the petition and invite others to join in. Signing is easy, is fast, and could have an enormous impact on efforts to expand access to the results of scientific information arising from taxpayer-funded research.
