Secretary of the Arts

This arrived in my email inbox this morning…

While I could see some problems with this, my guess is that it would be more good than bad.

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. Those in the arts need this and our 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.
