John, I look forward to connecting with you here, but one thing I wanted to
bring to your attention:

Congress just passed the phone unlocking bill. I spearheaded the campaign
on this legislation for the past 16 months. It is the first WH "We the
People" petition to lead to actual legislation. Obama's response to the
petition has directly led to legislation, exactly the type of accountable
govt Obama ran on.

Since the optics of the legislation are so positive, it passed unanimously
as the result of an online petition created by young tech-savy people, I
was hoping to make an official pitch for a signing ceremony or some sort of
public statement/tweet to thank the e-campaign (the largest online campaign
since SOPA/PIPA). I know those are normally reserved for very important
bills, but frankly there aren't many bills going through so I wanted to ask.
