Oh. You asked who you should write to. At this point, I'm not sure what the best approach is. You could share the information in your journal or any other blogs you write. You could also post a comment to Matthew Wayne Selznick's post about this (http://www.mattselznick.com/blog/scribtotum/2008/12/30/novelists-inc-discourages-readers-from-discovering-authors-wants-to-cripple-used-book-sellers/). You could even contact Ninc () to express your opposition to their proposal.
Is it time to contact congressional leaders? Well, maybe not. When I ran a quick Google search (http://www.google.com/custom?hl=en&client=pub-4099951843714863&cof=FORID%3A1%3BGL%3A1%3BS%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.hyperwords.net%2F%3BL%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.hyperwords.net%2Fhy-for-google.gif%3BLH%3A100%3BLW%3A100%3BLBGC%3AFFFFFF%3BLP%3A1%3BLC%3A%230033cc%3BVLC%3A%23333333%3BGALT%3A%23999999%3B&q=%22Secondary+Sale%22+fee+US+legislation+%22used+books%22&btnG=Search) a few minutes ago, it turned up only a few references. It may be that this is one of those times when a few people make a bit of noise which is quickly dissipated without making any real change. In which case, maybe it's better to just keep an eye on the situation, rather than to keep the news active.
