Hi all,<br>
<br>
<div class="moz-forward-container">Many of you have received this
already from the UGBoD chair, Sebastian Kuhn. Take this email just
as a reminder that this is an important issue for all of us. <br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>

Dear Jefferson Lab users,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I promise this is my last reminder - there are only a few
days left (until next Monday, 10/22) to sign our petition at</div>
<div>
<div><a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dHRvLUdVX2RLczJIakZ5bmY2SDZ4ZkE6MA#gid=0">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dHRvLUdVX2RLczJIakZ5bmY2SDZ4ZkE6MA#gid=0</a></div>
<div>I want to thank the over 200 of you who have already done
so, but with 600 people listed on at least one of the 12 GeV
proposals, I hope we can increase this number even more.
Again, please spread the word to your colleagues, students,
postdocs, advisors,… Also, since I was asked: I realize that
the text of the petition sounds a bit "parochial", from the
point of view of US users; however, we urge all international
users to sign on, as well. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I will present the text and your "signatures" to the NSAC
subcommittee next week at the DNP meeting in Newport Beach.
Please join us for the "Hadronic Town Meeting" there if you
can: <a moz-do-not-send="true"

<div>Dear Jefferson Lab User,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm sure you are aware of the ongoing deliberations
of the NSAC subcommittee ("Tribble committee 2") on the
implementation</div>
<div>of the NSAC long range plan. The outcome of this
exercise could directly impact the future program of
Jefferson Lab. For this reason, the members of UGBoD
feel that it would be very helpful if you can express
your support by signing a petition to that subcommittee.
Please go to</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dHRvLUdVX2RLczJIakZ5bmY2SDZ4ZkE6MA#gid=0">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dHRvLUdVX2RLczJIakZ5bmY2SDZ4ZkE6MA#gid=0</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>and fill out the required information plus any of the
optional information you wish. In case you're wondering,
constituencies of other labs or subfields of nuclear
physics have gathered signatures on similar petitions,
and a strong showing of support from Jefferson Lab users
would definitely be helpful to convey the broad interest
in the future 12 GeV Jefferson Lab program. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Signing the petition will only take less than a
minute of your time. We hope to gather enough signatures
in time to present the result to the subcommittee at the
upcoming town meeting at the DNP fall meeting in Newport
Beach, CA (October 26).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you want to do more, here are some suggestions:</div>
<div>- inform yourself by reading the 12 GeV "white paper"
at <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://arxiv.org/abs/1208.1244">http://arxiv.org/abs/1208.1244</a> and
background information at <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://wiki.jlab.org/cugwiki/index.php/Science_Funding">https://wiki.jlab.org/cugwiki/index.php/Science_Funding</a></div>
<div>- write letters to your congress representatives and
local newspaper editors in support of science funding</div>
<div>- submit your comments directly to the subcommittee
via email or the interface at <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://cyclotron.tamu.edu/nsac-2012-rfc/doku.php/nsac-2012-rfc">http://cyclotron.tamu.edu/nsac-2012-rfc/doku.php/nsac-2012-rfc</a></div>
<div>- Above all, attend the town meeting and the
preceding mini-town meeting on hadronic physics (October
25), which doubles as our usual users satellite meeting:
