Currently, the stimulus package is being reconciled by a committee appointed
from the House and Senate.
This committee is made up of 10 members and in order to get metric into the
package we need to contact them before the bill is reintroduced into the house.
The best way to do this is a personal phone call followed by a fax or email.
Please do this as soon as you can and pass this note on to your friends and
family.

According to the 2006 Central Intelligence Agency World Factbook, the International System of Units (Metric System) is the primary or sole system of measurement for all nations around the World EXCEPT: 1) Myanmar, 2) Liberia, and 3) the United States.
One of the quickest and -- in the long term -- most useful new deal New Deal projects President Obama could get under way as soon as he's Inaugurated is to have Legislation introduced in Congress to take the United States to Metric Standards of Weights and Measures.

I have an intuition that President-Elect Obama and some of the members of his transitional team has either a pro-metric policy already formulated as an implicit and unexpressed policy, or that either of them can easily be persuaded of the need for its timely introduction and implementation through Congressional legislation, given a skilful Lobbyist.

Obama The Metricator?
New US President Obama should complete the metrication of the USA as soon as possible.
The USA started off using metric at one time. But over time, the silly old imperial units gained more prominence, becoming known as "English" units, despite being different in their definitions to those used in England, even though most of the world was changing to metric.
Why stay in the dark ages with US Customary Units? If Obama wants change, the way forward is metrication now.
