A petition has been posted on the “We The People” page of the White House Website, urging the Obama Administration to implement public access policies similar to the NIH mandate for other federal funding agencies.

The goal is to collect 25,000 signatures and to date (as of  05/25, 11:24 am EST) there are 16,733 signatures.  Interested individuals have until June 19, 2012 to add their names.  If you agree with this recommendation, don’t delay —  add your name to the petition!
