House trying to get Orphan Works on agenda NOW!

We are asking everyone who can to not only contact their Congressperson but
to also contact the House Leadership and key Members of the House Judiciary
Committee.

THIS needs to be done NOW as they are trying to get Orphan Works on the
agenda for this morning.

This is very important as we need to make sure they keep the Orphan Works
Legislation HR 5889 and S 2913 off the House Calendar and from being
released from the Judiciary Committee.

-------------------------------

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO NOW and get others to do across the country

We need to get to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and House Majority
Leader Steny Hoyer and ask them NOT to allow H.R. 5889 to go on the
calendar.

We also need to get to 4 critical members of the House Judiciary
Committee and tell them NOT to abandon their version of the bill and
accept the Senate version.

THE INFO:


If you have trouble getting through on their individual lines, you can
also CALL CONGRESS: 1-800-828-0498. Tell the U.S. Capitol Switchboard
Operator "I would like to leave a message for Congressperson __________
that I oppose the Orphan Works Act." They will switch you through to
the lawmaker's office and often take a message which also gets passed on
to the lawmaker. Once you're put through give the same message.

There are two letters at the end of this email that you can use/adopt:
