Maybe the USMA should create form letters on their website (like the action 
alerts of environmental websites) that will facilitate mass mailings by all 
USMA members and anyone else interested in SI metric. Letters addressed to 
various organizations can be posted.

quoting HARRY WYETH:

I second the idea to have readers contact NBC regarding the Olympics.  We seem 
to go through this every four years, and it is so frustrating.  Particularly in 
(track and) field events, it has been common to have the USA commentator 
telling us how so-and-so pole vaulted, or long jumped, or whatever, xx feet and 
yy inches, when the electronic scoreboard on the field shown in the background 
clearly shows meters.  I don't know how to get through to the broadcasters; I 
have been sending them letters for years now to no avail.
