NIST Metrology
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) will celebrate World Metrology Day on May 20 by holding a symposium in Gaithersburg, Md. The symposium on “Measurements in Commerce: Metrology Underpinning Economic Development” will emphasize how measurement science and standards play an everyday role in our global economy.

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.

This is real .GOV site "Change.gov - The Official Web Site of the The U.S. Presidential Transition" - maybe most important survey for METRIC SYSTEM
Its time the US embraces the metric system. This not only puts the country on the same measurement system as the rest of world, the task to convert would spur new jobs and align education materials. I think taking on this well over due conversion also sends a signal to the rest of the world that America has the humility to accept a global norm, demonstrate it can change (for the better) and is committed to better integrate with the rest of the world.
