My friend Ted Meyer forwarded me your call for entries. I do quite a lot of political posterwork, most of which may be seen and downloaded for free on my website, www.BloodForOil.org. We've had great success with the site. The works have been used, printed, posted and seen all over the world. Here are some of our favorites for submission to your exhibition... "Jesus was a Dissident" by M. Lindsay, San Diego, CA Jesus. 11x17" greyscale digital poster. Filename: jesus-was-a-dissident_lindsay.jpg Description: Historian Howard Zinn wrote "to criticize the government is the highest act of patriotism." Unfortunately with the moral outrage Christian conservatives spew when ranting about "do-gooder liberals" and "whistle-blowers," it seems as though free speech is now something to be hated or eliminated entirely from our society. On his first day in office George W. Bush said that if the United States were a dictatorship, "it would be a heck of a lot easier, just as long as I'm the dictator." Come to think of it, getting rid of the dissidents would make things so much easier for politicians. If true patriots have anything to say about it, that's not going to happen. Dissention is something our nation's forefathers practiced and preached. Indeed, the right to dissent was proudly built into our government. And just a reminder to those religious fundamentalists who view dissention as ungodly or unpatriotic: Jesus was a dissident. Best Regards, Martin Lindsay
