One must be mentally ill to describe this exhibit as "non-partisan". Sprinkling Abraham Lincoln and Dwight Eisenhower into a gallery of the most loathsome leftists of the past 100 years does not a non partisan exhibit make. You are obviously free to believe and to paint whatever you like, but at least have the self awareness to realize that the group as a whole is a tribute to leftist ideas.

Dear Greg, Thanks for writing. Frankly, I am weary of this kind of name calling. "Loathsome leftists?" Martin Luther King, Jr.? Rachel Carson? For me it is NEVER a question of left and right. It's a question of entitlement or justice. Racism or equality. Exploitation or sustainability. Truth or propaganda. I'm only interested in one ideology, that of our Constitution & Declaration of Independence. yours, Robert |

Thank you, Robert Shetterly, for honoring the humble Truth Tellers, like Granny D. May she rest in purest peace.

Dear Dawne, Granny D certainly earned her right to rest in purest peace. But I suspect she will go on agitating till we get the money out of politics. She said, "If you lose control of your government, you lose your ability to dispense justice." All the best, Robert |

Have you considered painting David Mas Masumoto? Our favorite peach grower and author of Wisdom of the Last Farmer and Epitaph for a Peach. He is someone to greatly admire.

A self-proclaimed communist. Communist do not believe in our Constitution, do not believe in people's ability to think for themselves. Communists have a pretty bad reputation when it comes to telling the truth. It's easy to get away with lying to people who don't care to inform themselves. Useful idiots the communists call you.

Dear Laura, I suggest that it might be a good idea for you to read our Constitution. I am not a Communist, but the Constitution protects my right to be one if I wanted to be. People do not have to believe in the Constitution for the Constitution to beleive in them. I would say that people of ALL political persuasions have equally bad records concerning truth telling. All the best, Robert |

I wrote to you a while ago about Wayne Newell - Passamaquoddy elder. I do not see many native people on your list. I know you cant do everybody who might deserve it, but Wayne is right here in Maine and certainly deserving as a preservor of language and loved teacher.

What, no Mao? No Fidel? One thing NPR taught me is that you can lie with the truth very effectively. Seems you're a master craftsman. What a rogue's gallery of liars, leftists, and state-ists. Does it mention anywhere in the "curriculum" about the 100 million dead from the ideas you're foisting upon young idiots?

Please consider including Alice Greenfield McGrath (1917 - 2009). Alice was a lifelong activist. Her first well known contribution was working with the Sleepy Lagoon Defense Committee in 1942. Her role in the infamous trial was used a the center point of Luis Valdez's play and the movie "Zoot Suit". As Valdez said, "She was one the heroines of the 20th century." Her obituary was published in the L.A. Times on 11/29/09.
