I agree that our government needs to support the arts better, although I wonder how people would react, given our current economic situation. Still, it's worth supporting and may help get a step closer. My signature brought the total to 120324.

A US Secretary for Arts and Culture?
Please consider signing this petition: 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.
