[GOAL] Re: MIT Press does not support Research Works Act

Perhaps those of us with contacts in other academic presses (particularly the 
major ones such as Oxford, Cambridge, Chicago...) could press their contacts 
to push for a disavowal from there, as well. They might also look at how such 
AAP lobbying and press releases is working in so diametrically opposed a 
fashion to parts of their interests (though I understand that such 
organisations have multiple facets and why MIT Press feels unable to drop its 
membership over this particular individual issue).

I suspect that there are a number of members of the AAP that would prefer to 
indicate their disapproval by simply not 'signing on' ... I think it is safe to 
assume that silence is disapproval.
