From outside the USA I ask - why not follow the NRA example.
Write your Congress-critters in both Houses. Snailmail works better than e-mail. Tell them what you think about this new proposal to take away fair use and First Amendment rights. Slashdot them.
Politely, firmly, tell them this affects your vote in November. Don't rant, don't swear.
You can change this proposal. If lawmakers see enough mail opposing this - and particularly enough mail from people they don't routinely hear from, they'll start asking why they should support it.
Don't delay, do it today. And get everyone you know to do it too.
That's how the NRA has succeeded all these years. Look and learn.
