I really do not know how all this legislative process works , but can't these articles and reasoning be bundled together and sent to President Obama's office? Isnt there any process to write to the POTUS if citizens believe in a particular reform? The white house website has a contact information, but not sure if it would reach the president. But Brad, Dave, Paul et al..you guys are just incredible. Keep up the great work and thank you.

Brad–New here and to thread, but have you thought about looping in large Co's to help pitch the cause or lend support. I work for Experian (UK HQ, but large US presence) and seems a cause many large co's would support.

That is great work. As a temporary guest here (who just filed his 3rd patent application..) , yet more importantly has the fortune of having a miracle for a wife who fought to get her own visa and working in VC backed company herself, please please petition to include the the spouse in the Founders Visa so that they get work authorization as well. I believe its key for attracting talent here.
