Will do

Well, I'm outside the U.S., but still a registered voter, so OF COURSE I signed the petition!! It's ridiculous!!

There's another bill that needs attention too--the Research Works Act is trying to forbid mandates to make articles detailing the results of research funded by the taxpayers open access. Right now, after a year, you can read the results of research funded by the NIH for free. If this bill goes through, you would have to pay to see these articles--and they ain't cheap. Lots of health information is contained in these articles. I'm a librarian so I'm a bit passionate about these things!

Allison S. ... That's just ridiculous! Thanks for the heads up. :)

Yep, and if this stupid piece of legislation gets passed, it'll have consequences for everybody. I don't live in the US, I'm not American yet this legislation would effect me! Yet another example of American's trying to rule the world... And the worst thing? I can't complain as I'm not an American citizen.

wendy ... Luckily, it's dead now. :)
