Get Your +1 Yet?

We’re about to pass 15,000 signatures on the taxpayer access petition. If you haven’t signed it yet, read no further. Go sign and then come back.

If you have signed it, it’s time to go back up the hill again. We need 10,000 more signatures to force a White House response. We’ve been very effective on Twitter and other social systems. But it’s time to go into the scary place - real life.

Go out and talk to a friend, a neighbor, a coworker, a family member. Sit with them for five minutes and get them registered on the wonky White House petition site, and get them signed up.

Get your +1 signed up today. And then tell us about it on Twitter with the #OAMonday hashtag.

We’re heading into a holiday weekend here in the States. Online work activity is going to slow to a crawl. Signatures are going to slow as well. But take the time to work the issue when you’re offline. Talk to people. Tell them your story, why you care. And get ready for the next big #OAMonday push day, which will probably be on Tuesday the 29 May since Monday is a federal holiday in the USA.

Don’t stop pushing. We’re not there yet.
