Subject: Vote now to make Public Access to research a priority for the
Obama administration
As you are all no doubt aware, the Obama Transition Team is following the
lead of the campaign staff and continuing to actively use social networking
technology to help set the incoming administration's priorities.
One such example is the Obama CTO site, which is soliciting suggestions for
issues that the new Chief Technical Officer (CTO) should consider.
Peter Suber suggested that CTO consider a mandate requiring Public
Access to all publicly
funded research, and supporters of the issue are weighing in to add their vote
for the CTO to make this a priority issue. In fact, as of this
morning, the Public
Access mandate rose to the top 25 of the issues voted positively on so far.
Please add your vote to the list to send the message to the incoming CTO that
Public Access to taxpayer-funded research should be a priority.
Log on to:

And vote in favor of making public access a priority for this new
administration.
