You want to write Congress? Now's the time...

Hey guys.

After the whole alarmist blowup of the Orphan Works bill of 2006, I've been keeping my ear to the ground about the real bill: Shawn Bentley's Orphan Works Bill of 2008.

A lot of folks have been prepped and ready to contact Congress but I got the GO GO GO email this morning.

Please, for the love of all that is holy and good, DO NOT post alarmist statements about the Bill. It is not helping the cause.

First off, what does the Bill look like? Maradydd over at Livejournal is posting a play by play of the Bill. While it does a lot of good, I do feel there may be the potential for loopholes. Please read it carefully, and draw your own conclusions:

Sign it if you agree with it, as it will be going through the Senate Judiciary Comittee today.

Change is the result of people with different views being rational, honest, and intelligent with one another's viewpoints.
