"Ballet, not Bombs"

A well written and compelling argument as to why Congress should fund "ballet, not bombs". As I wrote a few weeks back, Senate is now mulling over whether or not to move forward with the House-approved $50 billion in additional funding for the National Endowment for the Arts. Christopher Knight, the writer of this article, cites "About 100,000 nonprofit arts groups operate in the 50 states. Collectively they employ almost 6 million people."

That's a lot of people and lot of jobs. Again, I urge you to contact your Senator and compel them to support this very important bill.
