Getting better..Hopefully



Well things have been a little on the draining side lately.

My parents are moving to england. The roof starts leaking. Than the basement leaks from the roof repairs. The dog vomits blood. And by the time that starts to all mend itself up. My brother gets into an accident on his motorcycle/scooter (depends on who you ask what it is) the week before my parents leave. And a computer crashed at work.
So now my father is living with my brother while he recovers from a broken leg (that's all that happened), my mother is going a little batty from trying to get everything ready for England on her own (she leaves on Monday) and my sister just found out that Orphan Works passed the Senate. Yes that bill I have been complaining about is back and getting fast-tracked through approval.*sigh* I wanted to think of ways to make more money while my parent's are gone but if I can't use my art I'm not sure what I am going to do. And my job you might wonder after comment. Low on hours but high on training demands.

*sigh* I think I am going to need a week off from the world after a while. Here is the orphan works protest letter and telephone numbers if you want to do anything with them.

Call the House Judiciary Committee staff at 202-225-3951. I was told the Judiciary Committee is not set to act on this, and they do NOT set floor policy. She suggested I speak to the Speaker of the House...202 225-0100.

Orphan Works: Risking Our Nation's Copyright Wealth

The Senate has just passed their version of the Orphan Works Bill

Now we must try to stop the House Judiciary Committee from folding their bill and adopting the Senate version.

We've supplied a special letter for this purpose.

PLEASE EMAIL CONGRESS TONIGHT.
