"You've been owned!" That's what product manufacturers are hoping the
Supreme Court will tell Americans this fall.

*The Court will decide if you have the right to resell the very things that
YOU OWN -- your clothes, your iPod, even your house:*

*Please click here for more details, and tell the White House and Congress
to stand by Americans' rights to resell the things we
own.*<http://act.demandprogress.org/go/627?t=2&akid=1407.2058961.WmhT_S>

This case is flying under the radar, so please use these links to get your
friends involved and help us fight back:

Product manufacturers are trying to take away your right to resell items
that are manufactured abroad, in whole or in part. *In this globalized
world, that's almost anything you own. *Today we're launching
YouveBeenOnwed.org<http://act.demandprogress.org/go/627?t=5&akid=1407.2058961.WmhT_S>
to
help Americans fight back.

If the Supreme Court rules with manufacturers, we might have to *say
goodbye to Ebay, Craigslist, and the old-fashioned American yard sale.*

Manufacturers will have an extra incentive to off-shore jobs. Re-use and
recycling efforts will be undermined, harming the environment.

*Your pockets will be empty, and your basement will be a mess of junk you
don't want or need:*

*Please tell the White House and Congress to stand by Americans' rights to
resell the things we own -- just click
here.<http://act.demandprogress.org/go/627?t=6&akid=1407.2058961.WmhT_S>
