Parker Willey Jr., Sir: > GoMetric!www.metric.org I wish I had some spare money; and invest in this cause. Although, in my little way I have been a promoter of 'NOT ONLY THE METRIC SYSTEM' but also worked for the reform of calendars - picking up the thread wherefrom the World Calendar Association proposal that fell through in 1956, as adjounment of Calendar Question at United Nations 'got bunglled' - perhaps due to political reasons and/or religious heads. A shirt to 'promote Metric is no wonder a splendid idea' Great ideas do take birth among the pooerest but flourish among the rich. I recall having read a small book "Ideas that Move the World". May be some ideas get triggered via my Home Page: http://www.brijvij.com/ .

Date: Fri, 19 Nov 2010 11:06:41 -0800 From: [email protected] Subject: [USMA:48893] Shirt to Promote Metric To: [email protected] I have an idea: The USMA has bumper stickers, calculators, Celsius thermometers, etc. on the page http://www.metric.org/supplies.htm Many companies and organizations distribute shirts that display a logo promoting their product or idea. How about a shirt promoting metric conversion? It might say something like: To Make America Competitive Again:GoMetric!www.metric.org on the front and back. Shirts should then be available on the above site for whatever cost it is to have the shirts made. Those promoting metric should wear your metric shirt to: * The YMCA or gym while exercising. * A town meeting of your Senators or Representative. Check their web sites for dates and times. Sit in front so you can be easily seen. * School PTA meetings. * The supermarket. * Church events. * Any place else where you can network with people. This is only a suggestion. ...Parker Willey Jr. San Jose, CA
