As the holder of a 2012 Leaf 24 month lease, a fan of EV's in general, and a follower of what Elon Musk and Tesla are doing, I signed the petition mentioned in the title. 100,000 signatures are necessary before the White House will

and worded thus: "We petition the obama administration to allow Tesla Motors to sell directly to consumers in all 50 states.
States should not be allowed to prevent Tesla Motors from selling cars directly to customers. The state legislators are trying to unfairly protect automobile dealers in their states from competition. Tesla is providing competition, which is good for consumers."
I thought I'd post it here, as I recognize the Leaf community as an active one in support of the Leaf in particular and larger BEV issues in general. A compelling argument for supporting the petition, and further discussion, can be found here on the Tesla Motors Club website:

You have to create an account before you can sign, but it's not a lengthy or onerous process. If 100,000 signatures are achieved by July 5, I believe the White House issues an official response, which may be valuable in guiding lawmakers positions on the subject.
BTW, love my Leaf!
