Petition Obama for Secretary of the Arts

Because we demand more Piss Christ in our life, take a moment to sign this online petition, if you will, so Barack Obama will create a Secretary of the Arts position.

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 and then pass it on to your friends and colleagues.

What's more, maybe with this position created, we will see more arts in our schools, and less flag football. Shudder.
