Dean Barkley for U.S. Senate

I know you must be thinking, what does this topic have to do with art?

The fact is, we should do all we can to help independent individuals who choose to run for government without relying on the puppet masters of the main republican and democratic parties.

If we truly want to keep art alive, we need to keep creativity alive. We need to keep money in the arts and other independent programs instead of handing it over to the banks through this current bailout situation, which is only supporting their Christmas vacation and overabundance of material possessions.

Dean Barkley is the running man against the bailout in the state of Minnesota and is is crucial that we help his campaign in order to add a free thinking individual to are deceptive government to keep the truth accessible.

If we want to be able to create freely for years to come, we have to change the times and reconstruct the top of the pyramid. If we as man can create something so incredible beautiful, we have the power to change it together.

Keep creativity and free tough alive by voting smart.
