I started a petition requesting that the U.S. government broaden their use of Free Software and Open Source software to save money. I deeply believe that this one step is PART of the solution to the problem of the crushing national debt that the United States is currently facing. There are of course many other reasons to support this initiative. From ethics to keeping the market competitive. Please take a moment to sign the petition. We only need 25,000 signatures to get the whitehouse to respond and there are millions of free software supporters out there.
