All eyes are on the White House now as a WeThePeople petition on whitehouse.gov requesting the Library of Congress reverse the previous decision on rendering cell phone unlocking illegal has surpassed the 100,000 signature threshold for a response. While this does compel an official response from President Obama, it should be noted that he cannot force the Library of Congress to overturn their decision.

However, gaining a positive response from the President would shine some political pressure to act and greatly raise awareness on the matter.
