I don't know how many of you are following the activities of Open Source for America, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to pass this along. Hopefully, it will at least provide more useful material for discussions--so spread the word. I'm wondering if this could somehow come up during the fight for the 2012 New Hampshire presidential primary.... :-)

Greetings, I actually have hearings today on my New Hampshire legislative bills for Open Source and Open Data.
If you'd like to weigh in... emails in support to
~HouseExecutiveDepartmentsandAdministration@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
would be most appreciated (don't have to be today, but the next few days would be good...)
The more they hear from folks in other states with successful use of Open Source,
the better the chances of this bill... (and the Open Data bill wouldn't hurt either... but it's outside this mailing list's scope slightly)
