***editorial comment from me.
any conservative groups in that bunch?
The propaganda machine gears up...
Good resource for perspective- thanks for posting!
Did you see any conservatives on the list? or groups?
I skimmed and I didn’t. These people have been at this longer than just August.
one of the attendees, JEFF CHANG, WRITER wrote this about Glenn Beck and the art meeting
Link to the organizer.
(hey, i’m just trying to make my thread longer ;)
just checking out the people on the attendee list, all appear to have lefty agenda
Talkin’ to myself on this post. Can’t sleep, reading the 18 page briefing.
This is exactly what was said in the conference call.
Scary stuff.
“Second, almost every speaker assured us that the administration “gets it” when it comes to the
importance of arts and culture to organizing for positive change.
This is encouraging, and as we understood going in, the opening exchange in a continuing
conversation. After the briefing, we recognized there was ample room for mutual education, for
artists and creative organizers to learn more about public policy and program development
processes and how to work most effectively with the public sector; and for the administration to
learn more about how artists and creative organizers can work with many public initiatives,
including areas like job creation, education and labor, which were not represented at the briefing.
“Overall, we came away feeling that there would be room at the table for artists and creative
organizers to take part in conversations about relevant policies and programs; and that we were
being challenged to come up with promising and attractive ideas about how artists can work for
the administration’s agenda and how artists’ work can be integral to national recovery. “
Would it be possible for you to put this on BREAKING NEWS OR FRONT PAGE NEWS?
The more I am reading of what I posted, the more my jaw is hitting the floor. It’s really relevant to Andrew Breitbart’s/Glenn Beck’s expose on the NEA stuff.
The administration, in this briefing is really up front with their agenda.
Everyone should read this. IMHO
thanks
Another quote, so I should get to 10.
What the hell does this mean?
” Matt Revelli, Juxtapoz Arts and Culture Magazine, brought up the question of international
access for artists, noting that creative minds have had difficulty getting into the United States. He
asked if the administration planned to facilitate access for international groups and artists, who
have been stopped at airports and sent home, causing resentment toward the U.S.
A: Joseph Reinstein said the administration wants to offer cultural exchanges with organizations
and talent to bring artists here and vice versa.”
Great find, machogirl!
Of course, SEIU had to be there!
At least front page- and breaking would be good too!
I think you were missing the ‘d’ in admin for your above request.
Amen :) i’ll repost, thanks

Good Lord I need sleep............
Are we going to let “terrorists/artists” in, is that what they want?
From SEIU summary of this event (don’t this beat all?)
....”Create a counter narrative to the Luntz memo/Republican talking points designed to destroy health care
reform. They can offer creative, humorous voices that can think outside of white papers or New York
Times op-eds to communicate effectively about the importance of health care reform and diminish the
increasing attacks on our movement for reform. For example, the satirical webisodes SEIU is producing
with comedy writers with content from Lutz memo.”......
Granted I haven’t slept yet, I have a young one coming down with a virus, but I know the sick feeling I’m getting reading this, is NOT FROM LACK OF SLEEP.
