PLEASE TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO READ THIS— AND THEN ACT ON IT. YOUR COPYRIGHTS AND FUTURE LIVELIHOOD IS AT STAKE. Dear Cartoonist, We’ve just received word that the US House Judiciary Committee may mark-up the Orphan Works Bill this week. A markup session is where a Judicial Committee Members will propose, accept and reject amendments to H.R. 5889. After markup, the bill could be reported out of the House Committee and go to the floor for a vote at any time. WE NEED YOU TO ACT TODAY!! Please go to the following web page to get Judicial Committee contact information, a sample letter, and links to more information. http://anti-orphan-works-act.com These letters should be directed to the Judicial Committee Members. *We especially need for cartoonists (and family and friends) in the Judicial Committee Member Districts to Call, FAX and Email their concerns ASAP!* Thanks to everyone who has already contact your legislators and will do so again this week. A special thanks to everyone who participated in the cartoon doodles during the Reuben Weekend. We put together a booklet that was given to legislators and their staff in the US House and Senate the week we went to Washington DC to voice our concerns. Regards, Lynn Reznick Parisi On behalf of the NCS
