[Sheri Beth Wells-Jensen]

Hi, Folks,

Here's that  URL  to  sign the  petition in case you  had  trouble  finding  it  in the  embedded messages.

You  may  see  a  'navigation cancelled' message on the webpage after you sign:  it  appears to  me to  be  a  CGI programming  error  on  the  page, but   doesn't  seem to   be a  real  problem.  That is, it  looks  to  me  like your  signature will still  be collected.  Just respond to the  email  confirmation   message you'll  get after you sign.

There  is  no   handy dandy   way  to  click  to   share the  message  with  others:   but   it   will  work   to  simply  forward the  link   above  to   anyone  you   like.

HTH.

Blind and print-disabled people in the United States and across the world need your help to relieve the worldwide book famine that prevents us from receiving an education, attaining employment, and fully participating in society. The World Intellectual Property Organization is considering a treaty that would make more books available to blind and print-disabled people all over the world by promoting an exception to copyright law allowing books to be produced in special formats like Braille and to be shared across international borders. This treaty is called the Treaty for the Blind or the VIP Treaty. Unfortunately, publishers, big media, and other rights holders like GE and Caterpillar, some of whom have nothing to do with the publishing of books at all, are complicating the negotiations in an attempt to water down or kill the treaty. You can help by sending a strong message that you support a treaty that helps the blind and print disabled get access to more books. Please sign the petition at
