Stimulus Package

Open Letter:

Dear Mr. President

It is now fitting and proper that we Artists have a "Stimulus Package" to fully appreciate the valuable assets of this country that we really are! We are too important to fail. And we're mad as Hell and we're not going to take this any more ! Our stimulus mandates must be met:

1) Our desperately needed materials, supplies and models must be furnished to our studios - FREE.

2) All models must be stamped with the Playboy Bunny seal of approval by Hugh Hefner.

3) Pleine Aire painting trips must be catered by the "Chief of the Month" !

AND

4) We demand the same salaries and benefits as - Wall Street CEOs and Bankers, including bonus'. Oh yea - and secretaries!

5) We require our own state. Yea, we want Hawai'i !!!

6) We intend to have our own cabinet position,

Signed,

DAMDD
