[SpaceProgram] whitehouse.gov petition to support hackerspaces

[Huei Ming Tan]

Hi Cole,

Nice, definitely an audacious move to get more attention on Hackerspaces.
However, I feel that the petition could use more specificity because the
government is already supporting a few Hackerspace related projects.

Is it too late to make amendments to the petition?

Warmest regards,
Huei Ming
