David, this is an excellent petition, and I am proud to have become the 14th signer (they take their time in updating the count, but I did confirm my signature in the email link sent to me).
The permissive metric-only proposal to amend the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act to allow manufacturers the OPTION of dropping all but metric units from their labeling and packaging costs the manufacturers NOTHING and provides no mandatory changes in product labeling and packaging. In a country in which the metric system has now been declared (in 1988) to be the preferred system of weights and measures for trade and commerce, this change is necessary and many years overdue.
