In this second CASE Act campaign, we invite you to email or tweet your Representative requesting that they sign on as a co-sponsor to HR 2426 (the CASE Act) if they are not already a sponsor or co-sponsor! If they are a CASE Act sponsor, we invite you to thank them.
Current copyright law does not provide for the protections that visual creators need in the digital age. The CASE Act will provide protection and remedies for all creators. That is why the CASE Act has become a legislative priority for hundreds of thousands of photographers, illustrators, graphic artists, songwriters, and authors. Join these creators in supporting the CASE Act and let your Representative know that the CASE Act is a priority for you because it provides you with some long overdue remedies to protect your work.
Need more information about the CASE Act (HR2426) before you take action? Go to CASE Act Central.
Take Action Now!
Email or tweet your Representative and let them know that they need to join the hundreds of creators and small business owners who support the CASE Act. The email and tweet will automatically be directed to your Representative based upon the zip code you enter into the app form. If you don’t already know the name of your Representative, go to contactingcongress.org and type in your zip code to find your Representative.

There are form emails and tweets that we have included in the CASE Act campaign for easy send off to your Representative, but please feel free to personalize the email or tweet to your Representative with your own specific message about how the CASE Act will help you, and/or how infringement has impacted your livelihood or income. See sample CASE Act advocacy letter by former ASMP National Board Chair, Jenna Close.
Upon clicking the button below, you will be redirected to the ASMP advocacy campaign page sponsored by Phone2Action, where you will be asked to enter some basic information (name, email, phone number, zip code). This information will be automatically entered into the ASMP advocate database that provides us with the ability to track our campaign activity and see which member messages are getting to which legislators so we can adjust our campaign efforts to maximize the impact of our member communications.
After you click on the Post Tweet button in the advocacy campaign to send messages to your Representative, an “Authorize app” box will appear for your authorization to post from your Twitter account. You can also choose to opt out of text messaging.
If you have any questions, please send to advocacy@asmp.org.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/3″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/3″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_btn size=”jumbo” open_new_tab=”true” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Extra-Color-2″ icon_family=”none” text=”Take Action Now” url=”https://p2a.co/zcPRu9z”][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/3″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
