Call to Action: Sign Now: Help Appoint a USPTO Director Who Supports Innovation

 IMPORTANT CALL TO ACTION 

Many debates are taking place now, but there’s a critical fight that’s not making the headlines, but affects us all: Innovation and The American Dream

Right now, powerful corporations are working behind the scenes to maintain control over the U.S. patent system. Why? Because when they control it, they decide who gets to succeed. It means American inventors, startups and everyday Americans lose—while corporate giants win.
 
We have a rare chance to change this. A new USPTO Director will be appointed soon. If we don’t act, corporations will continue to rig the system against us. But if we raise our voices, we can demand a leader who fights for us, not them. (Sign this petition to help us win this fight).
 
This isn’t just about patents. It’s about:  
 
  • Economic Freedom: If you invent something groundbreaking, should you own it? Or should a trillion-dollar corporation take it without consequence
  • National Security: China is outpacing us in 37 of 44 critical technologies—while we let corporations kill American innovation.
  • Your Future: The next iPhone, miracle drug, or clean energy breakthrough might never happen if we don’t protect inventors.  
 
Sign the petition today to help restore fairness and opportunity: Click here or the button below.
 
This is about economic justice, national strength, and the future of innovation in America. If we don’t act, we lose. But if we unite, we win.  
 
Sign now and share this. Spread the word. America’s future depends on it.
