    Milk, eggs, bread and gasoline are at all time highs and Congress is futzing around with legislation on "orphaned art?"

    I say vote the rascals and scalliwags out!

    This came to me from the APA. The vote is tomorrow.

    Here is a link to different formats of letters, some set, others customizable, that you can send to your representatives.

    It's easy and fast, and I hope it has some impact.

    Please, please consider sending a letter to your federal representatives through this channel if you think this legislation opens individual artists up to predatory practices by large private institutions who at the same time have taken great care to protect their own creative and intellectual property.

    The markup on the bill is happening in the Senate tomorrow, Thursday. According to the APA, over 60,000 people have sent emails. Here is the link again for anyone who wants to send one. It's super easy:
