CALL CONGRESS: 1-800-828-0498.  Tell the U.S. Capitol Switchboard
Operator
"I would like to leave a message for Congressperson  __________ that
I
oppose the Orphan Works Act."  The switchboard operator will patch
you
through to the lawmaker's office and often take a message which also
gets
passed on to the lawmaker. Once you're put through tell your
Representative
the message again.
