I just sent this to congressman Nadler, the representative for my district:
I encourage you to vote for the Eldred bill that clarifies copyright law, reclaiming some of the works that ought to be in the public domain but were snatched back into copyright by the megaforces of Disney & co (via the Sonny Bono Copyright extension act).
There is a nice petition on the topic at:

in case you haven't seen it.
