Although I am trying to find time to craft my own response is there any coordinated action on this issue. Somewhere where we can point 10,000 people to and simply get them to add to the count. We did this is Europe for software patents and get 250,000 signatures. <br>
<br>I have 30 people tomorrow that I want to urge to sign something but where is the something to sign?<br><br>If I hadn't been actively involved in OA I wouldn't even heard of HR3699 and RWA.<span><font color="#888888"><br>
