Dear Shepard,
I would like to thank you for using your talint in support of my campaign. The politicla messages involved in your work have encouraged Americans to believe they can helpchange the status-quo.
Your images have a profound effect on people, whether seen in a gallery or on a stop sign. I am privileged to be a part ofyour artwork and prooud to have your support. I wish you continued success and creativity.
Sincerely,
(signed Barack Obama)
Barack Obama
Obama ‘08
Obama for America (etc)
Note how Obama actually endorses the defacing of stop signs in this letter. It is not too much of a BFD, but coming out against graffitti and defacing traffic signs should be a no-brainer.
