More waste of our tax dollars.
More Hollywood Paybacks.
More Propaganda Hidden Within "Art."
More Campaigning on our dime.
More Time Not spent on the Country's real issues.


"On Tuesday, as part of Obama's "Winning the Future" initiative, the president designated members of the liberal activist group Creative Coalition as official "America's Champions of Change for the Arts." This is the latest in a series of "public engagement" efforts overseen by Obama senior adviser Valerie Jarrett and her high-paid, tax-funded staff of thinly veiled campaign workers operating out of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave."

"The White House and its "Champions of Change for the Arts" are flirting dangerously with an Orwellian-style Ministry of Arts Agitprop akin to Europe's and China's. America doesn't need ideologically skewed keepers of the culture in government-sanctioned positions espousing what's best for readers', viewers' and listeners' consumption -- and using tax dollars to shape our tastes and politics. The best way for this White House to stimulate free, unfettered conversation about the arts is to butt out of it."

Republican Governor , Sam Brownback has done the exact thing with Arts in Kansas. He is proposing "privatizing the Arts" He has established his own hand picked group of citizens to head up this new initiative.
