At a minimum let me suggest a name:  "Americans for Sensible Weights and
Measures" (ASWM).  It has a nice "co-opting" of old-time values tone, which
our opponents are likely to exploit.

Unfortunately I can't think of anything better to add. I'm frustrated by the
DOT situation, and recognize that we're outnumbered - there's no cavalry
coming over the hill I can see.

The only bright spot is Joe Reid's recent comment in USMA 15017, and the
opportunity to present highway reversion before the EU as evidence more
pressure needs to be applied.

I agree.  It is time for action!  I am tired of only being able to stand at
the sidelines and wring my hands.  We need to establish a pro-metric
political action committee (PAC) that has the freedom to lobby politicians.
SI-PAC would ideally have members and funding from US-based multinational
corporations (Procter & Gamble?) and foreign corporations who trade with the
US.
