"Today (February 9, 2012), Senators Cornyn (R-TX), Wyden (D-OR), and Hutchinson (R-TX) and Representatives Doyle (D-PA), Yoder (R-KS), and Clay (D-MO) introduced the Federal Research Public Access Act, a bill that would ensure free, timely, online access to the published results of research funded by eleven U.S. federal agencies....Act now!....Thank FRPAA's introducing co-sponsors. Even if you're not in their districts, it's important to thank FRPAA's introducing sponsors (Sens. Cornyn, Wyden, Hutchinson; and Reps. Doyle, Yoder, and Clay) to let them know there is a large community of support behind the bill. Write your legislators, via the Alliance for Taxpayer Access Action Center.
