As the librarian author is a supporter of the Orphaned Works Act, she has no reason to lie. The fact that Meredith is implying that no such bill is in the works because it is not on the congressional registry is disingenuous in my opinion. And to suggest that the Illustrator's Partnership is somehow lying when they say thay have seen recent versions of the Draft is indeed an acid tone to take. There is absolutely nothing wrong with telling artist to be prepared for the worst, and that it will come on fast. They were right on two years ago, so what reason is there to believe they do not have their facts straight now?
