Public Domain Act Introduced Into Congress

AnElder writes "In his blog yesterday Lawrence Lessig said '...Congresswoman Lofgren (D-CA) and Congressman Doolittle (R-CA) have agreed to introduce the Public Domain Enhancement Act into Congress.' Today the Eldred Act website features two press releases announcing the act's introduction, as well as its immediate support by '...the American Association of Law Libraries, the American Library Association, and the Association of Research Libraries...'" We ran a link to the petition supporting this Act a few weeks back.

Don't just sit back and hope this law passes. Write to your Congressman and your Senators and ask them to co-sponsor, or, failing that, at least to vote for it.

the Republicans are ruled by an evangelical/neocon cabal of realpolitik nazis (no trolling intended).

What would call that, exactly? Libel perhaps? Oh yes, Republicans are being controlled through some ancient secret society who read out of the Necronomicon, ruling the country in secret.

evangelical/neocon? You just contradicted yourself! So which is it?

But this is all silly. Of course, we didn't really land on the Moon, it was staged. The Philadelphia experiment really happened. Not to mention that Pres. Bush actually KNOWS where bin Laden is! Please excuse me, I have to go check for black helicopters monitoring my every move.
