Boycott Hollywood.

When the remaining members of the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities resigned en masse Friday morning, they left a hidden message.
The first letter of each paragraph of their resignation letter to President Trump spelled out the word "RESIST," the rallying cry of the president's opponents.
The first words of each paragraph are "Reproach," "Elevating," "Speaking," "Ignoring," Supremacy," and "Thank."
Twitter users were quick to make the connection.
Sixteen members of the committee, first established under President Ronald Reagan, resigned together Friday in protest of Trump's comments on the violence in Charlottesville, Va. The commission is made up of representatives from Broadway, Hollywood, and the broader arts and entertainment community. The other members had already resigned after Trump was elected in November.
Actor Kal Penn, a member of the panel, tweeted the letter Friday morning.
"The administration's refusal to quickly and unequivocally condemn the cancer of hatred only further emboldens those who wish America ill," the letter said. "We cannot stand idly by, the way that your West Wing advisers have, without speaking out against your words and actions."
Since Trump was elected, "resist" has been used as part of a campaign by Democrats to oppose Trump's agenda.

Now strikes me as a fine time for the taxpayers to defund the National Endowment for the Arts. No more piss crosses or elephant dung creations. Let the pervs who dig that stuff $UPPORT it directly.
Good quittance!
Just as well, shut it down, it’s a worthless committee.
If the arts community has gone looie, let it. But on its own dime.
This was easy. Donald will get rid of a lot of fluff just because it can’t tolerate his no-bull approach.
Go Donald go go go!
Less federal tax money to pay. I do want a refund after all these “make jobs for my cronies” phony employees are rooted out

Just too bad it wasn’t 700 useless RATs like the flock of “diplomats” Putin sent home.
Boycott Hollywood.
The finally got their fabricated cause to leave. Yes, good riddance.
Plastic disneyland fakes and brats.
None of us care what you think, just fyi.
Good enough for me for Trump to oversee cutting back on Federal funding for the Arts and Humanities.
This is a perfect time to permanently disband this committee.
Since Trump was elected, “RESIST” has been used as part of a campaign by Democrats to oppose Trump’s agenda.
That’s all they can to. The Democrats can’t propose any policies because most Americans will REJECT them. Muddying the waters and making the president look bad to the voters is all these people have.
The Democrats have no policies? Are you kidding me?
Statues, statues, statues.
Definitely a winning issue for 2018.
Do they have a secret handshake too? And a secret signal? “ka-CAW, ka-CAW!”
Kal Penn? Is he like famous? Or something?

Oh, they are so ‘cool’ — and I know this means so much to artists - to have written ‘Resist’ in their letter. I bet that really hurt his feelings.
What an abusive waste of taxpayer money.
All these un-Constitutional offices must go!
What is this, Junior High School?
