Believe in #openaccess?

Then pass the word about access2research.org and sign the petition at wh.gov/6TH - now.  

The petition is open for all citizens of the world.  

I cast my vote for open access to state funded research. Why should taxpayers need to pay twice to access the research they funded? Publicly funded resources should be openly licensed resources.

Sample Tweet:

• Believe in #openaccess? http://access2research.org & sign http://wh.gov/6TH now. You do not need to be in the US to do it. Anyone can sign it!
  

Please push this through your networks.
