Secretary of the Arts

Please read the paragraph below and sign the petition (it's only a few clicks). You can add a personal message, as I did, or simply sign it and return it. If you feel like forwarding this to others, feel free to do so.

Please consider this and forward as you feel appropriate:

Quincy Jones has started a petition to ask President-Elect Obama to appoint a Secretary of the Arts. While many other countries have had Ministers of Art or Culture for centuries, The United States has never created such a position. We in the arts need this and the country needs the arts--now more than ever. Please take a moment to sign this important petition (linked below) and then pass it on to your friends and colleagues.
