Subject: Help Americans become familiar with the Metric System Hi,
American children do very poorly in science classes because the only time they are required to see metric units being used is in school. That puts them at a disadvantage compared to children who grow up in metric countries. Also US industry can only sell inch-pound labeled merchandise to four percent of the world's population. By using metric units, they vastly increase the number of their potential customers. That's why I created a petition to The United States House of Representatives, The United States Senate, and President Barack Obama. Will you sign this petition?
