The Peter Hort campaign seems to be implying that the arts aren't important to Jerry Nadler, the current Congress member representing my district. Go here and click on the "On Freedom of Expression/Free Speech" link to see his record. They have not yet added that he just received an A+ from the Arts Action Fund, an arts PAC. You can see their Congressional Scorecard (PDF) by clicking here. Regarding the Arts Action Fund, I love seeing any list that has Chuck Close and Chuck D on it.
