A group of people at access2research.org put together a petition to the Obama administration to require that any taxpayer-sponsored research be open-access, this is, to make such research available to the public free of charge. More details are found here.
The White House website for this petition can be found here.
The goal is to have 25,000 signatures. I am # 23,482!
