I submitted a petition to the White House hoping to get an answer (I am not holding my breath, I might turn blue).
If you feel like me, please sign the petition and post it on social medias. See the link below. I also posted it on my facebook at: http://www.facebook.com/jaltounji I joined newly USMA. Any guidance from the veterans is welcome. John Altounji One size does not fit all. Social promotion ruined Education. ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____ I wanted to let you know about a new petition I created on We the People, a new feature on WhiteHouse.gov, and ask for your support. Will you add your name to mine? If this petition gets 25,000 signatures by April 10, 2012, the White House will review it and respond! We the People allows anyone to create and sign petitions asking the Obama Administration to take action on a range of issues. If a petition gets enough support, the Obama Administration will issue an official response. You can view and sign the petition here: http://wh.gov/I7S Here's some more information about this petition: Implement the metric system throughout the US. For many years the United States was teaching the metric system in schools as it was legalized by congress. However, since then it has not been implemented outside the classroom. We, faculty and students at Los Angeles Valley College, have posted a few papers on the following site for more information: https://sites.google.com/site/sisystemofmeasurements/ Please sign this petition in order to send the message to the White House that WE NEED TO CHANGE to the metric system. This is an important measure that cannot wait any longer. Our scientists and engineers have difficulties communicating internationally and our students are lost between two systems. Let's get in tune with the rest of the world. For a metric America; please forward. Thank you, John Altounji Adjunct Assistant Professor Los Angeles Valley College
