[From the Illustrators' Partnership of America]
Call to Action:
Last Thursday the Senate Judiciary Committee endorsed their Orphan Works Act. It is now headed for the full Senate.
If you’ve written before, now’s the time to write again.. Urge your senator to oppose this bill.
Because it has been negotiated behind closed doors, introduced on short notice and fast-tracked for imminent passage without open hearings, ask that this bill not be passed until it can be exposed to an open, informed and transparent public debate.
We’ve drafted a special letter for this purpose.
Contact your Senator in opposition to S.2913 NOW
The House Judiciary Committee is considering H.R. 5889, the companion bill now. Please write them again:
Contact your Congressman in opposition to H.R. 5889 NOW
2 minutes is all it takes to write your senator and representatives and fight for your copyrights. Over 68,000 e-mail messages have been sent so far.
Don't Let Congress Orphan Your Work.

Thanks Irene! My wife (also an illustrator as well as a designer and author) and I both just signed and sent letters. Thanks for bringing this to our attention!

The link for the House boilerplate-e-mail-by-ZIP-code page has extra characters: %3C before the link URL and %3E after it.
Thanks - I think I fixed it now.
Conceptart.org made me aware of this bill - I sent a round of letters a week or so ago. Time to send another round!
Is there a way peope from outside the US can participate in actions like these? Because this does not only affect American artists....
Done! Thanks for the heads-up.
Do you like playing the game where you need to use priston tale Gold, when you do not have priston tale Money, you must borrow it from friends, or you buy priston tale Gold. If you getcheap priston tale Gold, you can continue this game.
