Change.GOV

Change.GOV has been mostly closed (although most of the links, including the feedback forms still work) and has been replaced by whitehouse.gov.

This is the best place for us to make our voices heard and doing so is easy.

Places to have your say

  • Whitehouse feedback form. This currently seems to be the only way to provide feedback on the whitehouse.gov site.
  • Citizens Briefing Book. This is similar to change.org and Obama CTO except that it's run by the Obama administration so feedback goes direct to the Obama team.
  • Open For Questions There's already quite a few questions about metric here (type metric into the search box). Vote for one or add your own.
  • Tell Your Story Tell the administration directly what you want and why. The best feedback they can get is people writing stories about their lives and why they see a need for metric (e.g. you lost a business contract due to being in the USA and the perception that you might not use metric, your child ended up in E.R. due to a measurement error that would not have occurred if we used metric exclusively etc).
  • Share Your Vision Share your vision for America with the Obama administration. You might consider our vision when writing your own.
  • Join the Healthcare Discussion. Like many areas, healthcare in the US is split between measurement systems and it regularly puts people in unnecessary danger. Any reform of healthcare should include going to exclusively metric measures.
  • Submit your ideas on the economy. Metrication would vastly improve our economy. Generating jobs, improving our international trade and reducing the loss due to having to use multiple measurement systems.

The Citizens Briefing Book

This is a place to submit ideas and vote for them.
