Hi, Jon. #CASEAct is pro family in that it allows independent creators & small "mom-n-pop" businesses a means of possibly protecting their families' incomes against #copyright infringement. It is #Covid_19 related because... 1/2

... these same families livelihoods have been decimated w/ #StayAtHome orders cancelling events, photo shoots, etc. Pro photographers generally have two income streams: assignments & the licensing of #copyrighted material. (Same as musicians w/ royalties) so... 2/3

...#justOne Senator, @RonWyden, is hitting these families with a double slap in the face by: 1/ Denying them equal access to justice & 2/ Ensuring a primary income stream disappears or is at least minimized. The #CASEAct is common sense legislation that passed the House... 3/4

...with only *six* no votes. Where do you find that kind of bi-partisanship these days? It would pass the #Senate by unanimous consent if #justOne Senator, @RonWyden, would stop playing legislative games. 4/5

...@RonWyden is actually slapping #oregon creators, and those across America in the face three times, bc he won't even say why he opposes this popular legislation... 4/5
