The legislative process is frustrating and a long learning curve. We do as constituents have the opportunity to be aired when we are factual and logical. There are those who have honed these skills and it has become their mission to prove and educate those in decision making what is the big picture. Sometimes it is not always clear. When one's passion runs rampant without some thought and insight we may very well send the wrong message particularly when it comes to matters we do not fully understand. Give those who carry the well rounded and educated matters of state their chance. It is unfortunate that Civics is no longer taught.

I love how folks are all ready to criticize those who are actually doing something but they themselves do nothing. Wasn't it Mark Twain who said, "everyone complains about the weather but no one does anything about it" If you are not happy with the Orphan Works bill ask yourself, did you call your Congressman/Senator to voice your opinion? I know some did, like myself, but I will got out on a limb and say that the majority just sat on the couch waiting for someone else to fight their battle. Thank you for saying this.

I rarely ever read the ASMP, APA, or EP boards fully anymore (I just skim the posts now) as I just can't stomach all the bickering, especially when someone has a differing viewpoint. What bothers me the most is all of the hateful language in what are supposed to be professional forums. The current Orphan Works bill is an issue all visual artists need to informed & worried about, yet sadly there is so much misinformation out there being fueled by a number of different sources who do not have all their facts straight. What I don't understand is why the rush to push this particular bill through? Why now? I agree with you 100% about all the hateful crap on the forum boards.
