Fellow artists,
It is time to act RIGHT NOW! The House is ready to pass the Orphan Works Act. You can't delay! Call NOW and tell them NO!
The Illustrator's Partnership, below, has sent us info on the current plans. We can't let them get away with sneaky politics while the country is watching and debating the VP event.
Please forward this to all artists and lists and make those calls this morning!
